Item Description
A myriad of highly lustrous, translucent, pretty pastel-pink manganoan calcite rhombs has pseudomorphed two large intergrown tabular, hexagonal, poker chip calcite crystals on this striking and beautiful large specimen from Dal'negorsk. The display view is pristine. A fragment of a sphalerite crystal is noted on the back. Most excellent and uncommon large pseudomorph calcite from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. No longer available in this fine quality. Bright orange to white fluorescence! A must for the calcite or locality collector. Valued $1200
