Description

I also want to show something very rare – Hauerite is a very rare mineral and the locality produced some of the very best specimen world-wide. The crystals are sharp terminated and exposed, the faces are partly glossy and up to 11mm across – this is really a remarkable dimension for the mineral. Undamaged.
