Item Description

A striking, 2.6 cm, hexagonal, lustrous, translucent, color-zoned, pastel-pink, manganoan calcite "tower" aesthetically rests atop "rocky" matrix of quartz points, sphalerite and sulfides. One side of the calcite is contacted, but is out-of-sight in the primary display view. Classic and very cute combination material from Dal'negorks from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. NEON-ORANGE fluorescence.
