Item Description
Neon-orange fluorescence on this impressive and sculptural large manganoan calcite specimen from a NEW FIND at this remote now-famous mine. The doubly terminated, very sharp hexagonal, lustrous, translucent, pretty pastel-pink crystal has a very interesting interior checkerboard pattern, that adds pizzazz. Essentially pristine. The attachment is at the center of this striking piece.
