Item Description

Pretty pastel-pink, very glassy, translucent nailhead calcite rhombs form a rich and aesthetic mounded plate from this less well-known Chinese iron, manganese and gold mine. Specimens from here are seldom on the market and this is a good one. Neon-orange fluorescence! Ex J. Murray Collection.
