Hematite on Calcite with Andradite & Bementite, N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Field, Northern Cape, South Africa.

From finds in September 2001 the specimen is made up of extended growths of calcite with hematite, bementite and andradite. I am very fond of this specimen which is with extended growths of white calcite with the largest growth measuring 2.8cm. Towards the base are small lustrous hematite crystals and on the underside small mica-like bementite.

Size: 5.5 x 2.8 x 3.3cm

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