Item Description
These are HUGE, thin, poker-chip calcites, with a faint pink hue from manganese presence, in a gorgeous interlacing cluster. The piece fluoresces bright orange due to the manganese content. These crystals measure up to over 11 CENTIMETERS across! This specimen was found in the mid-1980s. Valued at $2000 for huge size, rarity and quality.
