3-D Print Model
In this picture, a 3-D print of staurolite displays what the mineral would look like, if the mineral were perfectly formed in the earth.
The Mineral Staurolite
In this picture, this naturally formed staurolite mineral, found in its host rock, is not completely/perfectly formed. This occurs quite frequently when discovering minerals. However, for demonstrative purposes, this sample does display some of the faces/shape of the 3-D print to the left.
In this picture, we observe a large 3-D print of the rarest form of staurolite (Grey), and the actual mineral in its less common form (white).
In this picture, one can observe the "spear" piercing through the staurolite mineral. The tiny brownish-red dots are the mineral garnet.
