One thing you can say about this large specimen from the Kalahari Manganese fields - it is very unusual and striking! What you have is a cluster of pyrite crystals atop the gray manganese-rich matrix that have pseudomorphed to limonite - so you are left with these bright rust-colored euhedral crystals piled atop a dramatically-contrasting gray matrix.
