Manganoan Calcite

Unknown Owner
A nice bright pink manganoan calcite from the Idarado mine. These specimens absolutely glow when lit with a UV light. The tips at the top and the center of the specimen are in fantastic condition. Near the bottom edges some are cleaved likely due to removing the specimen from the host rock. A good manganoan calcite is a staple of any serious Colorado mineral collection.
