The Kalahari Manganese Field
Situated in extremely well-preserved, 2.2 billion-year-old sedimentary rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup near Hotazel in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, the Kalahari Manganese Field is one of the geological and mineralogical wonders of the world. In addition to representing by far the largest-known land-based manganese deposit on Earth, the Kalahari Manganese Field is also the world’s top producer of ore in manganese metal tonnage. It also hosts a world-renowned, unique and varied assemblage of aesthetic collector’s mineral specimens that are often rare or unique.
Rhodochrosite
The mineral that made the Kalahari Manganese Field world famous was rhodochrosite. This mineral was originally discovered in the Hotazel opencast mine in 1963. These early specimens were generally not spectacular and consist mainly of drusy rhodochrosite associated with gypsum. Up until 1967, however, a few scalenohedral crystals did emerge from Hotazel mine. Then, 10 years later, the major discovery of rhodochrosite was made while N’Chwaning I mine was being opened, when a wide variety of the different colours and habits of spectacular specimens was encountered. Apart from its colour variations, which range from wine-red to pale-pink, the rhodochrosite occurs in a variety of shapes and sizes, from ‘dog-tooth’ (scalenohedral) to smooth spheres and ‘wheat-sheaf’ bundles of crystals.
The shaft of N’Chwaning I mine penetrated directly into vugs containing crystals, and hundreds of loose crystals were swept away off the floor at that time.
Truly exceptional, undamaged rhodochrosites are not that common, particularly the scalenohedral form, whose terminations cleave off very easily. Gem-quality material has been faceted. Most of the high-quality rhodochrosite came from N’Chwaning I mine. Specimens from Hotazel and N’Chwaning I mines typically occur with manganite, gypsum, todorokite, chalcedony and drusy quartz. The origin and formation of the rhodochrosite is connected to relatively recent geological events in the Kalahari Manganese Field and bears no link to the major Wessels-type alteration period that took place over a billion years ago. This rhodochrosite, from this much older geological event, is found in both N’Chwaning and Wessels mines but is less spectacular, and consists almost exclusively of simple pink, rhombohedral crystals, less than one centimetre, sometimes associated with gageite, orlymanite, caryopilite and leucophoenicite.
Drusy pink rhodochrosite was the most common mineral found associated with the 2006 N’Chwaning I mine shigaite specimens. Most have drusy, pale-pink to pink interlocking rhodochrosite crystals, one to three millimetres long. Some specimens have translucent pink crystals up to one centimetre or slightly longer, but these tend to be isolated on the drusy matrix. One variation of the pink rhodochrosite is thin, prismatic needle-like crystals up to two centimetres, which are intergrown with each other. These crystals are transparent, pale-red and bicoloured, almost always with a darker, red-brown colour at the termination of the crystals.
In early 2006, a very small discovery of rhodochrosite was made at N’Chwaning II mine, probably fewer than three or four dozen specimens. The difference from the classic Kalahari rhodochrosite is that this small pocket yielded pink, curved rhombohedrons, up to one centimetre. Matrix specimens coated with these crystals were collected, the largest being 12 cm (Cairncross and Beukes, 2013).

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Mesoproterozoic : 1040 Ma to 1010 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
