Item Description

A striking and aesthetic specimen of densely clustered beautiful light-pink "pagoda"-style manganoan calcite groups. The pagodas are composed of compressed, light-pink, stacked calcite rhombohedra creating a very attractive specimen. These are great contemporary Chinese classics showing superb form with aesthetics. Complete all-around and pristine, except for modest periphery wear on one out-of-sight side and one sawed edge. Super neon-orange fluorescence! An excellent example with multiple display possibilities.
