Item Description

A striking and impressive large mounded specimen covered with a multitude of pretty pastel-pink "pagoda style" manganoan calcite rhombs. The pagodas are dramatic stacked clusters of lustrous, tranlucent, flattened nailhead rhombs. The pagodas reach about 5.0 cm. Pristine, this piece has multiple fine display views. These pieces came out about 10-15 years ago, with none since. Neon-orange fluorescence!
