Small Raw Pyrolusite on Matrix - One of a Kind, 3 In #3

Want a pyrolusite that fits in your palm? This small specimen gives you the same silver, metallic mineral in a compact chunk.

The pyrolusite is embedded in its matrix, so it looks exactly as it came from the ground, and its silver surface brightens in natural light. Its small size makes it easy to add to a desk, a mineral drawer or a specimen shelf without rearranging anything. It is a nice entry point for someone curious about ore minerals, and a handy small gift for a friend who works in steel or engineering.
