Ettringite & Calcite on Matrix

Ettringite & Calcite on Matrix

N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Field, Northern Cape, South Africa

Size: 4 x 2.9 x 2.1 cm (Miniature)

I have always been very fond of this pocket from March 2003 at the N'Chwaning II Mine. There is a deposit of fine grained lemon yellow ettringite drusy covering the backs of calcite crystals which reach up to 1.2cm coming off the matrix. One of the smaller calcite crystals has a small cleav on the termination.
