Item Description
An elegant cluster of unusual, thick, blocky manganite crystals splaying like a flower. Lustrous, gray and color-challenged, yes, but still an outstanding and rare manganite especially for a manganese mine that produces few manganite specimens! Some of these pieces have very intriguing rounded terminations, such as this fine piece. Complete on 3 sides, sawed flat on the back. Ex Charlie Key Collection. Choice material.
