Item Description

A sculptural and aesthetic cluster of intergrown frosted/etched, tabular, pretty pastel-pink manganoan calcites rhombs from this very well-known locality. The large rhomb is 4.7 cm. Complete all-around and pristine. This showy piece has excellent 360-degree viewability. Oddly no fluorescence though these usually do so.
