Item Description

Intergrown, sharp, translucent, frosted, pretty light pastel-pink manganoan calcite rhombs are aesthetically sprinkled with tiny quartz points from the famous mines here. The large rhomb is 2.3 cm on the diagonal. This very cute and pristine mounded piece displays beautifully from either side. Classic and excellent material from this noted locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection. Super pink fluorescence.
