Item Description

A colorful and sculptural manganoan calcite from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine and the Charlie Key dealer stock. Parallel-growth fans of serrated-edge, pretty pastel-pink, manganoan calcite scalenohedrons form nifty, variably-sized spherical aggregates. Bright orange-pink fluorescence. This showy piece displays well without aid. A classic form from this locale.
