Manganoan Calcite (fluorescent) w/ Calcite Cynthia Payne Coll.

Item Description

Sharp, blocky, intergrown translucent pretty pastel-pink manganoan calcite rhombs with frosted faces have a very nifty preferential overgrowth of tiny dogtooth calcite crystals on his aesthetic and sculptural two-sided combination specimen from the famous mines at Naica. Neon orange-pink manganoan calcite fluorescence. Older material, probably from the 1970s and 80s. Ex Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection and valued by the former dealer at $250. Excellent and uncommon quality for the locale.
