Manganoan Calcite (excellent old classic) fluorescent

Item Description

An impressive, aesthetic and outstanding large manganoan calcite specimen from this historic lead-zinc mining district. The dramatic large scalenohedrons, to 10.0 cm, are a lustrous, translucent, light pastel-pink and have preferential inclusions of blebs of iron oxides. That's sphalerite on the front of piece. The termination on the striking primary calcite is pristine with only gentle contacting and no damage, per se. The secondary crystal has a very gently cleaved tip. Certainly acceptable in the context of this superior quality, large old-timer. It displays very well without aid. Bright neon-orange fluorescence! Value???
