Item Description
A classic and showy cluster of translucent, lightly frosted, pretty pastel-pink, manganoan calcite scalenohedrons from the historic Idarado Mine of Colorado. The terminations of all of the major crystals are pristine, except for a periphery crystal. Excellent for a soft species. This is a choice 360-degree example of the species and famous locale. Super orange-pink fluorescence! Old piece, rare on the market today except from old collections. valued $500
