Locality: N'Chwaning II Mine, N'Chwaning Mines, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
A gemmy 6cm heart twin rests upon an 11cm 0001 twinned modified rhombic crystal heavily included with manganese osides. These, in turn, are surrounded by other twinned crystals. The damage to the bottom left crystal is due to an attachment point. 13cm X 10cm X 12.5cm. Purchased from the miner who brought it out.
