Large Manganoan Calcite (fluorescent) w/ Siderite

Item Description

An impressive, large and colorful, combination plate from the famous mines at Cavnic. Striking, large, golf ball-sized nubby botryoids of lustrous, translucent, pastel-pink, manganoan calcite rhombs are very attractively clustered on the siderite coated earlier generation of manganoan calcite botryoids. For the size, the plate is in excellent shape. The bit of scuffing to the siderite on the lower upper-left, the bruised side to the small botryoid in the lower center and bit of periphery wear are noted, but are certainly on modest detractions to this impactful large piece. Neon-orange fluorescence to the golf balls.
