Polymetallic Manganese Nodule [CCFZ] 205 gm

This is an excellent polymetallic manganese nodule that is dynamic, large, and well-formed. It features exceptional billowy mammatus formations. Manganese nodules of this size, especially when complete like this one, are rare, making this a terrific addition to any geological collection.

Specimen Details

• Size: 64mm H X 54mm W X 40mm D
• Weight: 205 grams

Distribution and Components

Manganese nodules are among the most widespread undersea mineral resources, composed mainly of manganese minerals. These nodules are found in clusters across various ocean floor systems worldwide. The following elements are present: manganese, iron, silicon, aluminum, nickel, copper, cobalt, oxygen, hydrogen, barium, potassium, titanium, rare earths, tellurium.

The estimated age of these nodules is approximately 2-3 million years old.

About Our Manganese Nodules

Our manganese nodules were obtained through a scientific materials trade with a major university. They are sourced from the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ), a significant undersea area known for its mineral-rich deposits.
