Item Description

Charlesite is not commonly seen from the N'Chwaning II Mine. The partial crystal group features translucent, yellow to nearly white Charlesite (according to the label), but it could be Ettringite, Strumanite or perhaps a mix of all three. For now, the Charlesite, Ettringite, Sturmanite identification problem still persists. The piece comes with an old label from Caoursel Minerals.
