This is an excellent specimen of Manganite, and exceptional for the locality. There are three generations of Manganite here: a thick layer acting as the base showing radial growth, a thin crust with a fine flat luster, and then the three superb near-rosettes composed of dozens of highly lustrous 2 mm cubes. Any of the clusters by themselves would have been a find, but to have three nearly complete clusters is remarkable.
