Manganese-bearing Calcite

Item Description

These are some of the most recognizable Mn-Calcite specimens in the world. This particular piece features several aesthetic, "feathery" pink scalenohedral crystals of Mn-Calcite associated with minor black Tetrahedrite and Quartz. These Calcites have a truly unique look to them, and despite a few contacts here and there, many are in very good shape. These pieces are no longer being mined, and are now some of the great "classics" from Peru.
