A fine and rich, two-sided crust covered with gemmy, dark cherry-red to reddish-brown rhodochrosite scalenohedrons to 6 mm in nicely contrasting massive manganite matrix from a rare and old locality, the Moanda Manganese Mine in Gabon. Some of the rhodochrosites are doubly terminated and a few are very interestingly, two-tone or zoned. This material came out in the 1970s and early 1980s and no more have been found.
