The only aesthetic matrix piece I have seen from the find, featuring a 4.5cm crystal intergrown at the bottom with black Braunite and surrounded by red (likely manganese rich) mica. Though not highly gemmy, it still has plenty of gemmy areas, has good orange color, and all the faces are smooth and complete. Specimen size10 x 6 x 5 cm.
