The color is a deep mahogany brown that can look nearly black in some light. A choice small specimen from the now famous Inner Mongolian mineral belt.

Unusually sharp, isolated and nicely composed, this is a lot more esthetic than most specimens from this well-known locale. No damage, 3 dimensional specimen that can easily be trimmed to make a fine thumbnail.
