The mine story.

Manger Mining is an independent, small-scale tourmaline mine near Usakos in Erongo, Namibia. The work happens here, in hard rock and dust: drilling, blasting and following the pegmatite one metre at a time.

Long before there was a polished name or a website, stones like this came out of the Usakos pegmatite. The colour is unmistakable—but every crystal begins as part of a much larger mining story.
