Lithiophorite/ Cryptomelane, Iron Princess Quarry, Iron Knob, SA
SKU: 236
Size- 9cm x 6cm
A very good cauliflower like growth of lithiophorite and cryptomelane from this closed locality. These specimans with no radiating fibrous structure (like goethite) were recently tested and were identified as a mixture of the two different minerals. The concentric layers shown on broken surfaces on the back of the speciman are probably individual layers of the two minerals. The whole speciman is botryoidal formations apart from a small piece of matrix in the back of the speciman. One of only a handful of specimans recovered with this style of growth.
