Roweite and Johnbaumite with Magnetite and AndraditeShijiangshan mine, Linxi, Linxi County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China7.2cm x 4.2cm x 2.7cm
Description/Interesting Notes: A magnificent example of these rare species from Inner Mongolia!!! This specimen is from a very small find that has produced the world's finest examples of roweite, johnbaumite, olshanskyite, cahnite, and others by several orders of magnitude!!! This specime...n hosts prominent groups of bladed, amber brown roweite crystals on a matrix of grayish andradite garnet and in association with some sharp, whitish johnbaumite crystals and a large, jet-black crystal of magnetite!!! The roweite crystals exhibit sharply defined features, slight translucence, and a handsome amber brown color!!! The johnbaumite crystals are sharp, complete, and undamaged!!! The roweite crystals measure in size to over 2cm and the johnbaumite crystals measure up to 5mm!!! The partial magnetite crystal exhibits some sharply defined faces and measures an impressive 5cm!!! This same area has produced some of the finest known examples of cuspidine (there were so few, and they were sold so quickly few collectors even know about them), and incredible borcarite & cahnite specimens (again, a very small find that disappeared quickly) - this small find of world's best roweite specimens has already been exhausted and the specimens have all but disappeared so don't miss out!!! Rare material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
