Manganoan Calcite (New Find)

Item Description

Another NEW FIND from this remote Chinese mine are these striking manganoan calcite specimens. The pretty pastel-pink, lustrous and translucent, parallel-growth, diverging crystal has a bladed lower section with incredibly dense and unusual looking, stepped-growth terminations. This piece has a distinct cityscape look. Complete all-around. The termination is pristine. A bit of contacting and side wear is noted, lower on the piece, but has no impact on the display quality. SUPER orange-pink fluorescence! MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
