Jouravskite (very rare and fine)

Item Description

This piece dates back to late December 2016, when a significant discovery of the very rare calcium manganese sulfate / carbonate Jouravskite was made at the N'Chwaning III Mine in South Africa. This discovery produced a good number of some of the finest examples of the species ever known. It's important to note that Jouravskite has only been found in THREE other localities in the world outside of the N'Chwaning Mines, and before the 2016 discovery, specimens were virtually impossible to find on the market. This toenail sized specimen features gorgeous, strong lemon-yellow crystal of Jouravskite crystals sitting atop white Xonotlite with associated pink Bultfonteinite on host rock matrix. The largest single crystal of Jouravskite measures 5 mm across. A very rich coverage of crystals, so no major damage that I can find. Just gorgeous when viewed up close! No new specimens have been found at this mine since 2016, so don't miss out on this chance to get your hands on a gorgeous specimen of this rare and striking material.
