Item Description
Another NEW FIND from this remote Chinese mine are these striking, flower bulb-like, manganoan calcite specimens. Pretty pastel-pink, the lustrous and translucent crystal has a bladed lower section (stem) with incredibly dense and unusual looking, stepped-growth faces above. Complete all-around and pristine. SUPER orange-pink fluorescence! MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
