Uvite, Magnesite

Brumado, Bahia, Brazil

4×3,5×2,7 cm. (main Uvite 2,8x2x1,5 cm., main Magnesite 2×1,8×1,8 cm.)

Common association but absolutely unusual for look and size; big differences are well represented by the single crystals of Uvite and Magnesite over 2 cm, therefore considerable if in the same miniature, and by Magnesite crystals showing a fantastic ocher colored cap with a strange but aesthetic regularly wrinkled surface. All Magnesite crystals have transparent to translucent structure, while Uvite is so densely brown and green that it appears black.
