CKTSR-14 - ETTRINGITE on CALCITE - $ 750 SOLD N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa miniature, 5.5 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm ex. Charlie Key
A beautiful piece with the most intense lemon yellow hue! This specimen has several large scaleohedral calcites completely draped on one side by lemon yellow ettringite druse. It is just COLOR. The very tippy-tips are cleaved slightly, but it does not detract from the show value of the specimen at all since it is not readily noticeable.
CKTSR-2 - ETTRINGITE with Gaudefroyite - $ 3000 SOLD N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa miniature, 5 x 5 x 2.25 cm ex. Charlie Key
A glowing yellow cluster of large, translucent, fat ettringite crystals on a bit of calcite matrix, and with contrasting black gaudefroyite upon the right side. The large crystal is fully terminated, though admittedly has a contact on the left side where it grew against another crystal no longer present. Still, the upright, freestanding crystal is extremely dramatic, is complete; and such crystals are rare. Usually they are flatlaying, whereas this is freestanding and vertical! The smaller crystal at the base is fully terminated and complete. Comes with custom lucite base. Comes with custom lucite display base.
CKTSR-35 - ETTRINGITE with HEMATITE and GAUDEFROYITE on CALCITE - SOLD N'Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa cabinet, 10 x 8 x 4 cm ex. Charlie Key
Incredible , gorgeous combination specimen featuring two large ettringite crystals of lemon yello whue, perched on sparkling and contrasting CRYSTALLIZED white calcite AND Gaudefroyite, further accented by a hematite crystal atop. The hematite is striking, and is 2.25 cm long and doubly terminated, pseudo-scalenohedral in form. The ettringite crystals are to 4.5 cm in length and shimmer with electric sheen on the surface, and have deep color that does not convey well in the photos. The overall contrast is striking. This is a very rare, large example of the species in super aesthetic form. It was found in the mid to late 1980s. Comes with custom lucite display base.
