We have never seen botryoidal lavender quartz from any worldwide locality and believe it to be unique. This small find is from the more recently opened N'Chwaning III Mine. The very fine mounded cluster consists of lustrous, translucent, pleasing lavender quartz balls and is beautifully accented with snow-white calcite. Complete-all-around and nearly pristine. This is from a brand new find. The color is probably due to manganese, but they have not been analyzed to date.
