Item Description
Exceptional, and most unusual, Manganite specimen from Wessels. This small cab actually consists of a radiating spray of plumose crystals, terminating in a solid layer of Manganite. This habit is quite attractive, and very uncommon. The individual 'feathers' range up to 2.8 cm long as they all fan out from a central growth point. An excellent, and most intriguing, piece.
