Item Description

A rare, beautiful and aesthetic style of manganoan calcite from the famous Broken Hill Mine and the Richard Hauck Collection. Intergrown sprays of pretty pastel-pink acicular crystals are dramatically, preferentially and richly dusted with tiny manganite crystals on this exceptional two-sided combination piece. Neon-orange fluorescence. Fairly valued at $1200 for quality and rarity. Try to find another like it from this renowned locale.
