The hackmanite weighs 7.8 ounces and measures approximately 5.25 inches in height, 3.5 inches in width, and 0.4 inches in thickness.
The piece has an irregular, almost rectangular shape with rough edges, maintaining a flat and thin profile. It is securely mounted on a black metal stand, which enhances its display value.
The hackmanite exhibits a pale, off-white base color with rich violet-purple patches scattered across the surface. These purple areas are characteristic of hackmanite and provide a vibrant contrast against the lighter background.
When exposed to UV light, the hackmanite shows an intense orange fluorescence, a typical feature of this mineral. This glow adds a dramatic visual element, making it an appealing specimen for collectors interested in fluorescent minerals.
The texture of the hackmanite is slightly rough, with natural grooves and indentations that add to its raw, earthy aesthetic. The purple areas appear more crystalline, giving the piece a dynamic and varied surface.
