Rosettes of bladed shear-shaped crystals of silver white Löllingite on a matrix of Hedembergite/Ilvaite (?), associated with off-white crystalline Calcite (Overall 11 x 9 x 6 cm; 820 g). From the 2012 find. JFC collection and photograph. This another view of specimen featured in photo #474782.

NMJ-UNRLöllingite FeAs₂ , Magnetite Fe²⁺Fe³⁺₂O₄ , Calcite CaCO₃

Huanggang Fe-Sn deposit, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China

A novelty at St. Marie 2012. Group of crystals of Löllingite, very well defined for the species, with polycrystalline growths, very bright, and with some radial, not epitactic, small dipyramidal crystals of Arsenopyrite on the surface of their faces. They are on matrix, with Calcite and Magnetite. Both the Löllingite and Arsenopyrite have been analyzed.
Huanggang Mine, Kèshíkèténg Qí, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia A.R., China.
Found in 2011
Specimen size: 9 × 6.7 × 4.5 cm = 3.5” × 2.6” × 1.8”

0YV-KTPLöllingite FeAs₂ , Fluorite CaF₂ , Calcite CaCO₃

Huanggang Fe-Sn deposit, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China

Dimensions: 8.4 cm x 6.1 cm x 6.1 cm

8.4 x 6.1 x 6.1 cm. A rare combination piece with fluorite growing off aesthetic, large lollingite crystals. The lollingites (a species related to arsenopyrite) from this mine are being hailed as best of species material. Spear shaped, lustrous, silvery crystals to 7.9 cm in length host a complex, glassy and gemmy, colorless fluorite crystal (2.5 cm in length). From recent finds of spring 2012. Unlike most such pieces found this has dramatic 3-dimensional aesthetics and clearly shows the bladed crystals standing up.

V08-PANLöllingite FeAs₂ , Quartz SiO₂

Huanggang Fe-Sn deposit, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China

Dimensions: 10.6 cm x 8.5 cm x 7.4 cm

10.6 x 8.5 x 7.4 cm. The lollingites (a species related to arsenopyrite) from this mine are being hailed as best of species material. This piece features spear-shaped, lustrous, silvery crystals to approximately 3 inches, decorated with small quartz crystals. A nice combination specimen from recent finds of mid-2012 (found in April). Unlike most such pieces found this has dramatic 3-dimensional aesthetics and clearly shows the bladed crystals standing up.

4Y2-0WYLöllingite FeAs₂ , Fluorite CaF₂ , Magnetite Fe²⁺Fe³⁺₂O₄ , Calcite CaCO₃

Huanggang Fe-Sn deposit, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China

A novelty at St. Marie 2012. Crystals of Löllingite, very well defined for the species, with polycrystalline growths, very bright, with clear colorless crystals of Fluorite showing the forms of the dodecahedron, the octahedron and the cube, all them well defined. They are on matrix, with Magnetite. The sample has been analyzed.

Huanggang Fe-Sn deposit, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China

A novelty at St. Marie 2012. Group of very bright crystals of Löllingite with polycrystalline growths. They have an extraordinary size for the species and have radial, not epitactic, dipyramidal crystals of Arsenopyrite on the surfaces of their faces. They are on matrix, with Calcite, Fluorite and Magnetite. Both the Löllingite and Arsenopyrite have been analyzed.

Huanggang Fe-Sn deposit, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China

Dimensions: 7.4 cm x 6.8 cm x 3.5 cm

7.4 x 6.8 x 3.5 cm. Lollingites (a species related to arsenopyrite) from this mine are being hailed as best of species material. This piece features a front and center, 4.0 cm, spear-shaped, lustrous, silvery crystal surrounded by lustrous, light-pink manganoan calcite disks to 2.5 cm.
