Kutnahorite (fluor)

Item Description

A lovely, sculptural specimen with finely filigreed crystals of Kutnahorite in curving rows and layers twisting upon each other. Extremely dramatic example of this style, as I think the pics convey! While this is dominantly Kutnahorite, there is probably some Manganocalcite mixed in as well (it's a series) in the underlaying, less crystallized platelike layers which is causing the bright orange fluorescence rather than pink. I think these are among the most biological-looking of mineral specimens!
