Item Description

Lustrous cluster of Manganite blades resting on a matrix of sparkly, microcrystalline Manganite. The highly reflective blades have good terminations (a few have been broken), and they range up to 6 mm. There are about two dozen blades on the more massive matrix, and they are accented by a small cluster of Calcite crystals. This is a small and attractive specimen of a highly-desired Kalahari species.
