Item Description

A showy, aesthetic and excellent combination from this well-known mine and the Art Soregaroli Collection. Striking clusters of frosted/etched, light pink, manganaon calcite rhombs look like jumbles of pink corn kernels amongst the sharp, metallic gray to black sphalerite crystals. The scattered nifty iridescence and a couple of melted-look, metallic-gray galena crystals on the left-center add pizzazz. Pristine, except for the modest periphery wear. Choice combination material with uncommon form. Bright bubble gum-pink fluorescence!
