Manganoan Calcite (fluorescent), Pyrite and Quartz

Item Description

These are some of the most recognizable manganoan calcite specimens in the world. Pretty sprays of pastel-pink calcite scalenohedrons are very richly scattered on the undulating matrix of starkly contrasting mirror-bright, striated and stepped-growth pyrite pyritohedrons and glassy quartz points. Visually beautiful and aesthetic combination material from this noted locale. These pieces are no longer being mined, and are now some of the great 'classics' from Peru. Super pink fluorescence!
