Cluster of lustrous metallic Manganite crystals from Atikokan. At first glance I thought this was from Ilfeld, Germany because the crystals were so much larger than what I normally see from Canadian Manganite - it has crystals to 1.8cm tall. This is a well documented specimen from the JIm Watson collection (with label and old photograph), and comes with another old label from George and Susan Robinson Minerals that dates to 1978.
