Mottramite with Pyrolusite and Ilvaite 553g

A Complex Australian Mineral Association — With a Fluorescent Surprise

This impressive 553g specimen is a fascinating multi-mineral association showcasing mottramite as the dominant species, accompanied by pyrolusite and traces of ilvaite — a combination that speaks to the rich and complex mineralogy found in Australian deposits.
