A STUNNING cluster of light pink crystals of manganoan calcite (the manganese gives the crystals their pretty pink hue). What makes them particularly attractive is the blanket of yellow/tan calcite wrapped around the bottoms of the crystals, with the pink terminations sticking out. No damage or contacts, and all terminations are complete. Fluorescent orange-red in UV light.
