This specimen features hydroxyapophyllite crystals with lizardite and calcite on matrix. Properly called "hydroxyapophyllite-(K)," hydroxyapophyllite is a variety of apophyllite that is typically colorless. It more frequently grows cubic crystals, but these specimens from the renowned N'Chwaning Mines region form tabular square crystals similar to wulfenite, and can be colorless to semi-translucent white with inclusions.

The matrix on this specimen is very thin, and displays a well-formed pair of intersecting crystals at the center. The light matte brown mineral coating the specimen is lizardite, which often grows in small spots along the junctions of the hydroxyapophyllite crystal. Calcite druzy glitters through the lizardite and covers the back of the specimen. The calcite has also formed stacks of small scalenohedral crystals. The dark matrix is likely manganese-based; the N'Chwaning mines were established to extract the rich manganese ore in the area. Coffee-brown staining may be iron.

UV reactivity Calcite can cause the hydroxyapophyllite crystals growing over it to glow a weak red under 365 nm UV light—try it in a dark room with a strong flashlight. An unknown whitish mineral finely dusts areas of the specimen strongly fluoresces icy blue.

** Brittle warning! Hydroxyapophyllite specimens are somewhat delicate and may shed pieces; limit handling.

Budget friendly and useful!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Light weight affordable and still nice. Could be a little bit heavier at the base, I really like it so far. Seems pretty sturdy, definitely will need to check in to see the longevity of the product. Overall good budget buy.

Use for canning rings
Color: Black
I bought this to hold my canning rings and it worked great. The smaller arm holds my wide mouth rings and the larger one holds the regular ones. When I’m canning, I’m able to move the whole thing into the kitchen due to its light weight and use what I need. Once I’m done with the rings, back they go.
