Exemplary set of multiple dramatic, doubly-terminated Manganoan calcite crystals. Each crystal has a fine light pink color, very good luster, and intense strong fluorescence. One of the smaller crystals is partially contacted, but it has no effect on the overall aesthetics, which are outstanding and complete otherwise. An unusual, and unique, style of specimen for this locality which came out in the late 1980s.
