Psilomelane: Buy Loose Psilomelane at Affordable Prices from GemSelect

Psilomelane is an umbrella term for hard black manganese oxide and is composed of hydrous manganese oxide with variable amounts of barium and potassium. The name, psilomelane comes from the Greek for "psilos" (smooth) and "melas" (black) because of its smooth, black appearance. Psilomelane is often layered with gray pyrolusite, giving it attractive gray bands and swirls. It is often traded as "Merlinite" or erroneously called "black hematite", though hematite is iron oxide. Psilomelane often forms with barite, quartz, hematite and jasper. When intergrown with jasper it is traded as "psilomelane jasper".

My only complaint is that there are so many beautiful and affordable stones that I get distracted from what I planned to order.

Gemselect is a good website with a great selection of loose gems for sale. The prices are fairly decent, with the only negative being the cut quality of the gems. This is my go to retailer for gemstones and will continue to be, given that the packages arrive in a timely manner.

Never bought anything on this website before, but it probably won't be my last purchase. Definitely one of the easiest to use and most informative sites I've ever been to.

the searching format was easy to find what i needed. It helped to be able to sort Lowest price to Highest because i wasnt looking to spend too much but i did want an actual stone and not imitation.

I have used this site for sseveral years now. All has been great. I started collection gems from GemSelect for years and wanted to collect at least one of most stones. I loved Safers because the mols is a 9 + and they come in every color. This is the best place to buy gems for the assortment and price. Great place to learn about gems too. Sometimes the shipping is a little on the long side. But I would give them a 9.9 out of 10 !!
