Item Description
These are some of the most recognizable Mn-Calcite specimens in the world. This particular piece features a few "feathery" pink scalenohedral crystals of Mn-Calcite associated with minor Chalcopyrite on Quartz matrix. The Calcites have a truly unique look to them and they are almost all pristine. These pieces are no longer being mined, and are now some of the great "classics" from Peru. The largest Calcite measures 2.0 cm
