Description
A stunning neon hot pink example of calcite from relatively modern finds in Morocco, meaning the early 1980s in this case (#62034 in her collection by then!). The photos say it all. In studio lighting, this goes a more hot pink, so please compare the photos and the video (in standard LED lighting) as both are accurate depending on lighting. This piece, unlike most which are simply color blobs, has good crystals and sharp faces. It is also family fluorescent under UV. we have seen many of these over the decades but this, for the size and overall esthetics, is something special. Dr. Erika Pohl-Ströher - 62034
