resenting a fascinating and scientifically interesting mineral specimen, weighing a precise 305 Carats (approximately 61 Grams). This piece showcases a natural, high-density grouping of three distinct minerals, often found together in skarn or metamorphic environments.
The specimen measures a substantial 55 x 40 x 29 mm and is prized for its varied composition:
-
Magnetite: Features the classic black, metallic, and dense presence of Magnetite, known for its strong natural magnetism.
-
Vesuvianite: The inclusion of Vesuvianite (also known as Idocrase) provides contrasting color, often appearing in shades of green or brown with a prismatic habit.
-
Diopside: Completing the association is Diopside (a Pyroxene mineral), which typically manifests as greenish-white or pale green crystals.
