 | "KILLER gem crystals of golden-amber Sturmanite to 7 mm on massive manganite matrix from the famous Nchwaning II Mine of South Africa. VERY RARE in this gemmy quality. This quality is superior!!! This is old material, now 20 years out of the ground.
Sturmanite is a rare, attractive and interesting mineral for collectors. It has a very bright yellow color and a nice luster. Sturmanite also forms well shaped crystals. It will commonly form classic hexagonal prisms that are topped by a hexagonal pyramid, which in turn is often truncated by the flat face of a pinacoid. Sturmanite forms as a precipitate from hydrothermal solutions." Location: Nchwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Field, South Africa Size: 4.3 x 2.8 x 1.4 cm. Weight: 1.0 lbs.
