This specimen features hydroxyapophyllite crystals with lizardite and calcite on matrix. Properly called "hydroxyapophyllite-(K)," hydroxyapophyllite is a variety of apophyllite that is typically colorless. It more frequently grows cubic crystals, but these specimens from the renowned N'Chwaning Mines region form tabular square crystals similar to wulfenite, and can be colorless to semi-translucent white with inclusions.

The matte light brown mineral coating the specimen is lizardite, which often grows in small spots along the junctions of the hydroxyapophyllite crystal. Calcite druzy glitters through the lizardite and covers the back of the specimen. The calcite has also formed clusters of small scalenohedral crystals. The heavy dark matrix is likely manganese-based; the N'Chwaning mines were established to extract the rich manganese ore in the area. The coffee-brown staining may be iron.

UV reactivity Visible calcite fluoresces and phosphoresces faint red under 365 nm UV light. It can cause the hydroxyapophyllite crystals growing over it to glow a faint red—try it in a dark room with a strong flashlight.

** Brittle warning! Hydroxyapophyllite specimens are somewhat delicate and may shed pieces; limit handling.

Nice, affordable suit! Surprised how well it fit. 6' 1" 195 lb son wore to prom. Pants were a tad short but he didn't care. Looked sharp.

Listed as two pieces, comes with items
Color: Black, Size: Small
This suit is great! It is listed as a two piece suit, but it also comes with a tie and a lapel pin as seen on one of the pictures when you scroll down in the description. My son will be wearing it to prom with a different tie. Fits perfectly. He is 5 foot nine, around 155 pounds, and we ordered a size small. It literally looks tailored to him. Will post pictures after prom!

Pretty good
Fits according to size guide but I would have liked a slimmer fit. Also there are no pictures of the back of the jacket and it does have details we are not crazy about. Decent for the price
