Description

Massive specimen of deep pink pyroxmangite from the famous Colorado locality. Upon etching in mild HCl, a few vugs of pale yellow color appeared. The content of those vugs could be helvite - although it was not analysed.

The true color of the specimen is paler and more homogenous in person - I have slightly saturated it in order to highlight the yellow patches.

Quite sizeable specimen from Sunnyside. It comes with no reserve price!
