N'Chwaning II Mine, N'Chwaning Mines, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa This specimen is just so beautiful and uncommon - sparkly maroon crystals of andradite on euhedral crystals of hematite. Even if you collect N''Chwaning stuff, I doubt you have one of these. 3.2 x 3 x 2.8 cm |

Wessels Mine (Wessel's Mine), Hotazel, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa A very rare garnet specimen from a small find in the 1980s that produced these waxy-lustered, red andradites in record size crystals for the mine. The large crystal here is 1.2 cm and the form is SHARP! For the location, these remain unequaled to my knowledge and are certainly rarely seen for sale. This is the first I have had in a long time. 6.3 ... |
