MC93AG6: In 2017 in the N'Chwaning I Mine some manual work for the extraction of collector’s specimens was initiated. This colorful Shigaite in Rhodochrosite is a good example of the result of this work. The good form of the crystals that are very aerial, their transparency, color, brightness and perfection are the hallmarks of this piece.
This specimen was photographed and published as a novelty at the 2014 Munich Show in the magazine ‘Le Règne Minéral’ Nov/Dec 2017, number 138, page 29
