Item Description

Fabulous pagodas of stacked nailhead manganoan calcite rhombs form a stunning and pristine 360-degree specimen this less well-known Fe-Mn-Au mine. The pretty light pastel-pink translucent rhombs have subtle dense stepped-growth and satin lustre faces. Specimens are seldom on the market and this superb piece is from the circa 2009 find. Comes with a custom engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. Bright neon-orange fluorescence!
