Item Description
A sculptural cluster of hexagonal "towers" of stacked nailhead manganon calcite rhombs from the November, 2008 at this well-known fluorite mine. The crystals have pretty light pastel-pink color, nubby prism faces from the stacked crystals and lustrous, smooth, trigonal terminations. Essentially pristine, this very showy piece has multiple fine display possibilities. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. Bright neon-orange fluorescence!
