Curious aerial piece of black kyanite formed by a group of superimposed crystals of radial and acicular intersection that form a fan, waxy, triclinic crystalline system and laminar or tabular morphology; from the well-known Brazilian municipality of "Minas Novas" in the state of "Minas Gerais", which is part of the Jequitinhonha valley region. A characteristic piece of that area of singular beauty.

Piece from the so-called "Gilico Baths" where we see analcime crystals of whitish tones with trapezohedral and dodecahedral shapes with some inclusions that give uniqueness to the piece. The specimen is rich in mineralization, we see crystals of lamellar hematite, silver in color, whitish calcite, prehnite with a fan-shaped morphology, very bright yellow Titanite and finally we see very beautiful prismatic actinolite crystals. A very rich piece mineralogically speaking.
