Pyrolusite on Matrix Specimen - One of a Kind, Raw Silver Mineral, 6 In #8

Pyrolusite is the main ore of manganese, and in a display specimen it trades industry for shine.

The raw pyrolusite on this piece is silver and sits embedded in its matrix, so it keeps the natural look of a mineral straight from the ground. It shows best in natural light, so a spot near a window brings out the metallic luster. Give it room on a shelf, a desk or in a mineral cabinet. Collectors of metallic minerals, geology fans and anyone who prefers raw rock to polished stone will find plenty to look at here. It also works well in modern, industrial or masculine decor where crystals in pastels would feel out of place.

About Pyrolusite

Pyrolusite is manganese dioxide and the main ore of manganese. It ranges from black to light gray with a metallic to earthy luster, and it usually grows granular, fibrous or columnar rather than as well formed crystals. The name comes from the Greek for fire and to wash, from its old use removing tints from glass.

Stone Meaning: Pyrolusite is traditionally associated with confidence and transformation.
