A gorgeous, pastel-pink specimen of mammilary manganoan calcite from the famous Wessels Mine. This very showy, mounded piece is complete all-around and is essentially damage-free. Calcites of this variety and quality were not common from the Wessels Mine and this is a good one. Ex. Rob Smith Collection. STUNNING orange-pink fluorescence.
