Manganoan Calcite (fluorescent) on Quartz

Item Description

A large, 5.0 cm, glassy, translucent, light pastel-pink, maganoan calcite rhomb is jauntily perched on sculpural CABINET matrix covered with tiny needle quartz with an overcoat of drusy quartz. The large rhomb is actually an impressive stacked cluster of flattened manganoan calcite rhombs. The matrix is sulfides, mostly bright, brassy, pyrite crystals. Complete all-around and pristine, this is a highly representative example of the species and locale. This large rhomb displays well from either side. Pretty pink fluorescence.
