Item Description
The sculptural aspects of this two-sided, diverging, CABINET, cluster of manganoan calcite crystals are surreal. This obvious cave formation consists of intergrown stalks of pretty, translucent, pastel-pink, extremely elongated and flattened crystals. The piece filled the vug, as both ends are contacted and a few broken crystals are noted. We have never seen a Dal'negorsk manganoan calcite with this exotic form. Stunning orange-pink fluorescence!
