Item Description

A striking and aesthetic specimen of diverging, pretty pastel-pink, conical, manganoan calcite crystals from the early 1990s finds at this well-known locale. Pachapaqui prduced some the finest Peruvian manganoan calcites and this is a good one. Pristine, except for the acceptable basal periphery wear. Bright neon-orange fluorescence!
