Item Description

A striking and sculptural large 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. The pagodas across the top are most impressive! These are great contemporary Chinese classics showing superb form with aesthetics. Pristine, except for the basal periphery wear. Part of the back has been sawed. Super neon-orange fluorescence!
