These are some of the most recognizable Manganoan Calcite specimens in the world. This particular piece features several aesthetic, "feathery" pink scalenohedral crystals of Manganoan Calcite associated with minor black Tetrahedrite and Quartz. These Calcites have a truly unique look to them. These pieces are no longer being mined, and are now some of the great "classics" from Peru.
