Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa

Sparkling glassy yellow crystals showing different habits of this rare mineral on 2 sides of a dence dark matrix (probably some kind of manganese ore)
The location was just listed as South Africa but i think its safe to assume its from one of the Kalahari manganese field mines.
Specimen is aprox 4.3cm tall and 4.8cm wide
