Mangano-mangani-ungarettiite specimen

Reddish veinlets and microcrystals of the very rare mineral mangano-mangani-ungarettite from the type locality in Australia (Hoskins Mine, Grenfell, New South Wales, Australia) and only one of the two known localities worldwide. Two sides of the specimen are polished, probably because it was analyzed. Ex Vandenbroucke Museum collection from Waregem, Belgium. — Photo: David Hospital · CC BY-SA 4.0
