Black cubes of Bixbyite on a large single Garnet pseudomorph. Such pseudomorphs are typically dull grey specimens of Hematite ps. Garnet. This specimen appears to be a Hematite pseudomorph after garnet with additiional pseudomorphism of Topaz on the surface. The Topaz give the lustrous glassy reflections that mimic the geomtric faces of the original garnet crystal. These are uncommon!
