Item Description

Striking and beautiful sprays of pastel-pink, glassy, dogtooth manganoan calcites spikes form a very sculptural and aesthetic two-sided small cabinet from this famous locale and the Art Soregaroli Collection. You can see the bit of sphalerite matrix on one side. Pachapaqui is noted for fine manganoan calcites and this is an exceptional example. Pristine, except for minimal periphery wear, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Neon orange-pink fluorescence!
