Manganoan Calcite, Fluorite and Quartz

Item Description

A sculptural and nifty combination specimen from the famous Yaogangxian Mine of China. A striking, cauliflower floret-shaped, pastel-pink cluster of glassy, stacked, manganoan calcite rhombs stands up proudly and behind a V-shaped matrix of very glassy and lustrous, light seafoam-green, fluorite octahedrons with crystal faces preferentially overcoated with sparkly, drusy quartz. A showy and uncommon combination specimen from this find. Bright pink calcite fluorescence and moderate purple fluorescence on the fluorite.
