Calcite on Inesite on Matrix, N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Field, Northern Cape, South Africa.

This specimen consists of a deposit of flat blade-type crystals grouped together to form sprays up to 1.3cm of orange-brown Inesite crystals on a thin flat host matrix. There is a small twinned calcite crystal perched between the inesite. Over all in good condition, there is some minor abrasions around the peripheral. This is from a pocket in the 1980's.
