Description:These are some of the most recognizable Mn-Calcite specimens in the world. This particular piece features many fine, highly aesthetic, "feathery" pink scalenohedral crystals associated with black Tetrahedrite and Sphalerite on Quartz matrix. The Calcites have a truly unique look to them and despite just a very few contacts here and there, they are almost all pristine. These pieces are no longer being mined, and are now some of the great "classics" from Peru.
