Item Description
A WHOPPER specimen of pretty pale pink maganoan calcite - a 3-dimensional dome of crystals - out of the personal collection of Arizona specialist Evan Jones. These are shimmering, fibrous-looking, roughly scalenohedral crystals that look on close inspection as though they have thousands of tiny subterminations. The magnitude of this specimen makes it look like something out of Dalnegorsk or Eastern Europe; it is certainly not common from Naica!
