This was just such a unique look for calcite, it is no wonder collectors loved them and bought them all up the year they came out. This specimen has not only all the great qualities of this find, but also prodigious size, for the cabinet collector. It features lustrous columns of tightly intergrown, flat pyramidal crystals, with a gorgeous pastel pink color from the manganese content. This also gives them nice orange fluorescence.
