Item Description

Bultfonteinite is a rare silicate, with some of the finest examples coming from the famous Kalahari manganese mines. This is an outstanding, aesthetic and rare combination small cabinet from the Charlie Key dealer stock and the Wessels Mine. A beautiful 1.7 cm pretty pastel-pink ball with striking silvery needles on the sides is jauntily set on the sculptural matrix covered with glassy tiny hydroxyapophyllite-(K) crystals. Such combination are rare from here.
