Shigaite on Gypsum var. Selenite with minor Rhodochrosite

Wessels Mine, Hotazel, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa

2.92cm x 2.4cm x 1.05cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare and unusual example of shigaite on selenite from Wessels!!! This specimen hosts numerous, finely bladed crystals of golden yellow shigaite scattered across the top of the gemmy selenite crystal!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see that the crystals exhibit sharp, characteristic hexagonal form and bright glassy luster!!! There are some small crystals of rhodochrosite visible near the bottom of the selenite with much of the rhodochrosite actually being included within the selenite!!! Rare material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
