Item Description
Manganoan calcite specimens of this exceptional form and quality are RARE from this less well-known mine from the famous Guanajuato District. This is a stunning, pristine, lustrous and translucent, sharp 6-sided steeple with pretty light pastel-pink color. The gemmy termination sits atop striking smooth prism edges and dramatically etched prism faces. Every turn presents a different perspective and the side car crystal at the base adds pizzazz. Hot pink fluorescence. Outstanding and rare in this quality calcite from the Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection.
