Manganoan Calcite with Pyrite

Two pink intergergrown calcite crystals which get thicker towards the top terminations. The somewhat upright crystal was naturally dissolved and some small pyrite crystals placed themselves on a beige second generation of calcite. This piece was in the Wildfang collection for 22 years!
