Item Description
Super sparkly, gemmy, canary-yellow, etttringite microcrystals cover the 3-dimensional crust of contrasting snow-white brucite on this very showy and excellent combination specimen from the famous Wessels Mine of South Africa. Brucite is an uncommon magnesium hydroxide and is definitely one of the lesser known species from the renowned Kalahari Manganese Field. This is a vibrant cutie. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
