Manganocalcite (fluor.)

Item Description

Gorgeous rich-pink Manganocalcite with an unusual organic-like habit (after all, it is a Calcite, mineral of so many forms!). This crystal form ends up with a a stalactitic look, and the crystals have good coverage over the specimen. Frosty pink and very eye-appealing, there is some cleaving on the specimen (mostly in the back), but the overall appearance is quite aesthetic. Dramatic fluoresence but ALSO an incredibly intense pastel pink in normal light, beyond the norm for the species. this is a gorgeous piece!
