Strontianite

Unknown Owner
A superb spray of pink strontianite crystals coming off matrix. This is as good as the Scott color wise. In really fine condition and excellent for the species. The specimen comes with a previous collection data card as shown at the end of the video. This pink color is attributed to the presence of trace manganese replacing the strontium ion in the crystal lattice.
