DT Manganoan Calcite (fluorescent!) Harkness Coll.

Item Description

Dal'negorsk, like Tsuemb, is renowned for calcite quality and diversity. This is an exceptional large single manganoan calcite crystal from the early to mid 1990s finds. The pretty pastel-pink crystal is gemmy to translucent, highly lustrous and glassy. The super-sharp, strikingly skewed hexagonal nail head crystal has fabulous striated trigonal termination faces, adding much pizzazz and sculptural quality. The crystal is also partially doubly terminated. Complete all-around and pristine. An outstanding large 360-degree manganoan calcite with superlative form. Neon-orange/pink fluorescence! Ex Harkness Collection. Valued at $1500-1750 for very high quality and large crystal size.
