Manganese Nodules

Manganese Nodules from the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone

We have manganese nodules for sale from the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone in the Pacific Ocean. These nodules are collected with great care to ensure their integrity and quality. They range in size from small pebbles to larger lumps, making them suitable for various applications. Additionally, we offer a convenient 5 lbs. bag for those looking to buy in bulk.

Valuable Resource for Technology

These nodules are valuable resources for use in technology, as they contain a unique composition of elements that are critical for modern applications. Ocean floor mining is becoming increasingly important, as many elements are becoming more difficult to obtain through traditional mining methods. Manganese nodules are the most widespread undersea mineral resource, found in lumps of varying sizes and shapes. The nodules we offer contain rare metals and essential elements that are vital for technological advancements.

Elements Found In Manganese Nodules

The following elements are present in our nodules, contributing to their value and versatility: manganese, iron, silicon, aluminum, nickel, copper, cobalt, oxygen, hydrogen, barium, potassium, titanium, sodium, traces of cobalt, and others. Each of these elements plays a significant role in various technological applications, from electronics to renewable energy solutions.

Estimated Age and Formation

The estimated age of these nodules is approximately 2.5 million years old. Formed over millions of years through the slow accumulation of minerals from seawater, these nodules represent a fascinating aspect of geological history. Their ancient origins add to their allure and significance as a natural resource.
