Crystallized taramite in beautiful shapes reminiscent of a witches broom.
Taramite is also known as Black Kyanite, it does not have the blue color because the color is covered by an infinity of black micro-inclusions (probably graphite).
The piece you receive may differ slightly from the photo shown as the minerals are natural and no piece is identical. The size is approximate.
