Item Description

A striking and aesthetic large plate 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. The base has been sawed. Super neon-orange fluorescence! An excellent example with multiple display possibilities.
