Stacked clusters of lustrous, pastel-pink, nailhead, manganoan calcite rhombs forms a fabulously aesthetic combination specimen from this well-known Dal'negorsk mine. The dramatic spray rests on a mounded matrix covered with tiny quartz points. Uncommon in this quality and size material from the 1990s to early 2000s finds at Dal'negorsk, legendary for calcite quality and diversity. Outstanding material from the Marty Zinn and Art Soregaroli Collections. Neon-pink fluorescence.
