Item Description
An impressive, large, sharp, translucent, frosted, light pastel-pink manganoan calcite rhomb sprinkled with sparkly pyrite and iridescent chalcopyrite sphenoids from the famous mines at Naica. The large rhomb has just a bit of modest edge wear, mostly on the back edge, which is certainly not a detraction. Classic and excellent combination material from this noted locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection. Super orange fluorescence. Valued at $200-250.
