- 2 specimens selected
9.2 x 8.8 x 6.7 cm. Manjiroite and todorokite are RARE to uncommon hydrated manganese oxides. This exceptionally rich and showy specimen consists of bedded, dark gray, lamellar manjiroite altering to todorokite with really neat-looking vugs lined with glassy calcite crystals. Some of the lamellar manganese oxides are chatoyant! A nifty and unusual specimen from the Willy Israel Collection, who purchased this excellent piece from well-known dealer Clive Queit in 1986.
10.7 x 9.1 x 8 cm. An unusual specimen consisting of a mass of foliated manjiroite crystals, altering to todorokite. The cavities are filled with bright glistening calcite crystals! Pretty and unusual! Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
