Summary

Description
English: This image shows large crystals of staurolite weathered out of micaceous schist of the Rinconada Formation, near Pilar, New Mexico, United States. The resistant crystals are weathered out of the relatively soft schist in such quantities that they cover the ground as a coarse gravel. Most are 60 degree twins, with some 90 degree twins and a few single crystals.
