Item Description

A sculptural, pretty pastel-pink cluster of translucent, very elongated, tapered manganoan calcite crystals with nailhead terminations from a 2012 find at this now famous remote mine. The front is pristine and the partial contacting on the back is out-of-sight in the excellent primary display views of this 360-degree piece. Specimens from the 2017 finds are tabular in form, a distinct difference. STUNNING orange-pink fluorescence!
