MH66AA7: Rhodochrosite with Shigaite

Aggregate of two small very sharp Shigaite crystals. They are laminar, bright, with a very intense and deep color and on a rocky matrix coated by a botryoidal Rhodochrosite growth, very bright and with a very intense, vivid and uniform pink color. The whole sample is extremely esthetic.
N'Chwaning I Mine, N'Chwaning mining area, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese field (KMF), Northern Cape Province South Africa (2006)
Specimen size: 8.7 × 6.2 × 4.9 cm = 3.43” × 2.44” × 1.93”

ML68AC5: Shigaite on Rhodochrosite

Laminar crystals of this rare species. They have a sharp hexagonal shape, deep red-brown color and they are translucent, very bright, and are implanted on a matrix of Rhodochrosite crystals with a very intense luster and color and mainly formed by the prism and the scalenohedron.

ER67AM3: Shigaite with Rhodochrosite

Lamellar crystals of Shigaite, a rare manganese sulfate, with a sharp hexagonal outline, translucent, with very good luster and an intense red color with brown reflections, implanted on a rock matrix covered by brilliant Rhodochrosite crystals with an intense pink color.
N'Chwaning I Mine, N'Chwaning mining area, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese field (KMF), Northern Cape Province South Africa (±2006)

MC93AG6: Shigaite with Rhodochrosite

In 2017 in the N'Chwaning I Mine some manual work for the extraction of collector’s specimens was initiated. This colorful Shigaite in Rhodochrosite is a good example of the result of this work. The good form of the crystals that are very aerial, their transparency, color, brightness and perfection are the hallmarks of this piece.
This specimen was photographed and published as a novelty at the 2014 Munich Show in the magazine ‘Le Règne Minéral’ Nov/Dec 2017, number 138, page 29
N'Chwaning I Mine, N'Chwaning mining area, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese field (KMF), Northern Cape Province South Africa (2017)
Specimen size: 5.9 × 3.2 × 2.5 cm = 2.32” × 1.26” × 0.98”

Main crystal size: 1 × 0.5 cm = 0.39” × 0.20”

MT27AC8: Shigaite with Rhodochrosite and Siderite

Very aerial aggregate of laminar Shigaite crystals. They are bright and transparent, with a color between yellow and orange, and have a considerable size for the species. The Shigaite is implated on a botryoidal Rhodochrosite aggregate and it is with crystalline Siderite. Not bad for the species.
The specimen has been photographed and published in the magazine ‘Paragénesis’, number 01/2016, page 80
N'Chwaning I Mine, N'Chwaning mining area, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese field (KMF), Northern Cape Province South Africa (2007)
Specimen size: 7.1 × 3.8 × 3.6 cm = 2.80” × 1.50” × 1.42”
