A superb, old-time cluster of translucent, lustrous, pastel-pink, modified rhombohedral manganoan calcite crystals with unusual cobblestone-like stepped terminations, and from the famous Samson Mine at St. Andreasberg, Germany. This has an excellent orange fluorescence which, like the color, is rare in calcite from this region. Ex. Miller Calcite Collection.
