A SUPERB and AESTHETIC Dalnegorsk specimen of large, very glassy, pastel-pink manganoan calcite crystals attractively overgrown with smaller, glassy, 2nd-generation, colorless calcite rhombs. These Nikolaevskiy Mine calcites came out in the early 1990s, when Dalnegorsk was still known as Tetjuche-Pristan. Ex. W. Leithauser Collection.
