Item Description
A fantastic specimen of Sturmanite from the Kalahari Manganese Field featuring dozens of superb, very sharp, highly lustrous, GEMMY, strong yellow colored, tabular hexagonal blades measuring up to 5 mm, associated with botryoidal aggregates of silvery-grey Brucite on matrix. The Sturmanites are gorgeous under magnification, and the luster and transparency are about as good as it gets. No major damage that I can find. While these are not the largest Sturmanites in the world, they are incredibly beautiful, and superb crystallized examples of this rare mineral.
