Hydroxyapophyllite from N'chwaning II Mine, Kuruman, Kalahari

The N'Chwaning Mine is famous for its fine Rhodos but it also produces curious Hydroxyapophyllites which are totally different from the Indian ones or any others for that matter. This esthetic group perched on its matrix displays very well due the extremely aerial position of the crystals.
