Manganese Nodule – Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone - 70 g

Polymetallic Manganese Nodule - Pacific Ocean Mining - 70 g

This manganese nodule originates from the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ) in the Pacific Ocean. The photographs show its front and back, highlighting its distinctive surface texture and structure. Notably denser than the average manganese nodule, it represents both a remarkable example of deep-ocean geology and a potential source of critical metals essential for advanced technologies.

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

Specifications

• Size: 40mm L x 37mm W x 35mm D
• Weight: 70 grams

Composition

Manganese nodules are deep-ocean mineral deposits prized for their rich and varied elemental composition. Along with manganese, they contain strategic metals and minerals including iron, nickel, copper, cobalt, and rare earth elements, as well as silicon, aluminum, oxygen, hydrogen, barium, potassium, titanium, and tellurium. This unique chemistry makes manganese nodules highly sought after by geological collectors and essential for scientific research, metallurgy, and advanced industrial applications.
