Item Description

Striking intergrown diverging cone-shaped clusters of pretty pastel-pink, translucent, elongated manganoan calcite crystals form a very sculptural large two-way specimen from 2017 finds at this now famous remote Chinese deposit. The artistic cone forms have satin lustre faces. The bit of noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this very showy example. Neon-pink fluorescence !
