This Manganese Nodule is from the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone Pacific Ocean. 

Manganese nodules are the most widespread undersea ocean mining mineral resource, composed mainly of manganese minerals, and other element resources are found in lumps of various sizes.

Beneath the ocean's surface lie extraordinary formations known as manganese nodules. These fascinating polymetallic nodules are more than intriguing curiosities; they possess immense potential for tech companies. Composed of layers of iron and manganese hydroxides, these nodules hold valuable metals like cobalt, copper, and zinc. But that's not all - they also contain rare earth elements essential for manufacturing cutting-edge electronics.

Some deep-sea mining companies are trying to find ways to mine these valuable nodules, typically found at deep ocean depths, without destroying ocean habitats. Harvesting these highly sought-after metals is a complicated and delicate process.

Collection Site: Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, Pacific Ocean floor

Size: 43mm L X 34mm W X 25mm D. Weight: 54.9 grams

This polymetallic manganese nodule ships in a perky protective case with a Certificate of Authenticity, tag, tag stand, and information about the specimen. Photo cube and plexiglass base are not included. Our manganese nodules were obtained in a scientific materials trade with a major university.

A professional XRF elemental assay analysis is included with this order. The XRF analysis is consistent with other manganese nodules coming from this region.

Here is an opportunity to improve your scientific collection with one of the greatest geological wonders from the ocean floor.
