Item Description
The specimen is almost entirely composed of yellow microcrystals. A rich coating would make this exceptional, but to be solid Jouravskite is incomparable. There are few like this. This rare hydrated, calcium, manganese sulfate, carbonate comes out only rarely from the Kalahari Fields. A tremendous Jouravskite specimen for sheer richness and volume. We recently found one last stash, so there will not be many more in the future.
