Item Description

A large, sharp, translucent, frosted, light pastel-pink manganoan calcite rhomb from the famous mines at Naica. A rim and field of sparkly, tiny dogtooth calcite crystals plus very unusual modified edges to the rhomb are super accents. Contacting on the back and base is essentially out of sight. Classic and excellent material from this noted locale. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection. Superb pink fluorescence.
