This particularly unusual example displays a striking honeycomb-like formation, with a deeply recessed cavity densely lined with closely intergrown, flattened crystals. The individual crystal faces create an intricate, tessellated texture, while larger, rounded crystalline aggregates frame the cavity and contribute to its remarkably sculptural appearance. The pink to salmon-orange coloration, subtle translucency and lustrous crystalline surfaces give the specimen exceptional visual depth. An unusual and highly distinctive expression of the early rhodochrosite mineralization for which N’Chwaning I is so highly regarded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 6.8 x 3 x 3.5 Cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 150g with acrylic base\u003cbr\u003e\n(Conversion: 1 inch = 2.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: N'Chwaning I Mine, Kuruman, Kalahari, Northern Cape, South Africa\u003cbr\u003e\nEx.
