These are the most fine quality romanèchite specimens ever found in Spain. These botryoidal aggregates show the velvet surface formed by several small todorokite/romanèchite/pyrolusite crystals (see SEM photo). These specimens has not been acidified, only fresh water. Romanèchite shows in fresh fracture the classic grey color. You can observe small but brilliant crystals of pyrolusite on the surface.
