Bustamite : (Mn²⁺,Ca)[SiO₃]
	Broken Hill, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia A FINE, terminated bustamite crystal rising from sparing matrix, showing deep salmon-brown color, pretty good lustre for the species, and complete all around. Not at all common in this quality – a really good mini of this old and classic material from BH. These are just not around! 4 x 2.2 x 1.1 cm

Bustamite : (Mn²⁺,Ca)[SiO₃]
	Broken Hill, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia This is a superb bustamite crystal not just for size, but for the sharp and complete termination. Usually these crystals are contacted or incomplete. This one, however, is complete all around (except for what may be a slight cleave on one narrow back edge) and shows an exemplary termination 6.2 x 1.7 x 0.9 cm
