Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Harts Range, Central Desert Region, Northern Territory, Australia
Size Range: 
Small cabinet (7-10 cm)
Size: 
9 × 8.9 × 3.4 cm
Description

An unbelievably large single crystal, no matrix. These crystals are well known from this locality but I have never seen one this big before - its huge!

Very weakly magnetic, it's hard to work out if the crystal is complete or only partial, but it is "as found" on the surface.

Some chipping to th termination but in good condition overall.
