Interesting light pink translucent, lustrous manganoan calcite from Dal'negorsk. It glows under SW UV light. Pyrite and another sulfide (probably sphalerite, which is common at this mine, but it could be something else) can be seen within and on the crystals. On the back of the piece are sulfides and small euhedral quartz crystals.
