Sprouting from a matrix of 1.5 cm transparent quartz crystals is a single spear of manganocalcite. Highly lustrous and well formed, this obviously pink crystal is also doubly terminated. This is as superb a Romanian mangcalc as I have ever seen. In person, you will see the sugary lustrous effect on the surface is even more impressive 6.2 x 5.3 x 2.5 cm
