Calcite (Var: Manganoan Calcite)
The Idarado mine is most famous for its Manganoan Calcite specimens. In fact, the largest quantity of the finest quality Manganoan Calcite specimens from Colorado were found in this mine. This piece is a lovely "fan"-shaped group of modified scalenohedral Manganoan Calcite crystals with a soft pink hue. The crystals are translucent when backlit and the overall aesthetics of the piece make it a very good display specimen of this truly classic San Juan material. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
