Since the Smithsonian is local to our club event, they always set up a display case. Here we see a rhodonite and tremolite from China. The card in front is approximately 10 x 5 cm Note from mindat manager (explanation of why the photographed label does not match the mindat locality): Probably from Chaobuleng Mine. No reference can be found for ...

Partial octahedron (about 40% complete) of magnetite, viewed down a crystal axis. The combination of very large size (for magnetite) and pronounced octahedral step growth is unusual, and not displayed by any other specimen in the Mindat gallery as of 8 August, 2015. Collection and photograph Norman King.

Crystal cluster of magnetite. Interesting specimen where typical octahedra (few here) neighbored less common dodecahedra. Photographed by, and in the collection of Dan Costian.

Colorful, impressive and rare style rhodonite from a 2011 find at this obscure medium-sized Fe-Zn-Pb-(Ag-Cu-W) skarn deposit in remote Inner Mongolia. Cherry-red, glassy, striated/stepped-growth sections of large rhodonite crystals comprise the front of this striking plate. All specimens featured in the MINDAT Photo Gallery for the species are ...

This specimen from Inner Mongolia, China shows large sheets of rhodonite growing in interlaced layers, forming a distinctive layered structure. Its surface is warm orange, while some cross-sections reveal a lively and bright pink tone, with a natural and layered color transition. A fine layer of quartz crystals adorns the surface of the rhodonite, ...

A cluster of dodecahedral Magnetite crystals with minor matrix. The Magnetite crystals are very sharp and have very fine striations that give the specimen an incredible satin luster. The faces reflect light so intensely that it is difficult to photograph.
