MB26AN2: Large group of octahedral Gersdorffite crystals of good size, very sharp, isolated and lustrous. On a Nickeline matrix, which guarantees stability to the whole piece, and small green Annabergite coatings. Simply exceptional.

Rhodochrosite

Fluorescent light (daylight)
 

TE16AN2: A historical piece, since the first 'top' Rhodochrosites from the Kalahari area were found in Hotazel before they were also found in N'Chwaning.
It is a druse of very sharp and well separated scalenohedral crystals, between transparent and translucent, lustrous and with a very intense and uniform color. A magnificent classic of African mineralogy in which some crystals have cleavages, something very difficult to avoid in specimens of this type and size, although it does not affect the general aesthetics of the piece, considering its global quality.
The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published in the magazine ‘Mineral Up’ on page 42 of the 2020/02 edition.


Hotazel Mine, Hotazel, Kalahari manganese field (KMF), Northern Cape Province  South Africa

Specimen size: 8.8 × 6.4 × 4 cm = 3.46” × 2.52” × 1.57”
