Item Description

Pastel-pink, Pachapaqui manganoan calcite specimens are a Peruvian classic. This is a showy, two-tiered plate of sharp, melted-look, scalenohedrons. Highly representative of the species from this noted locale. A cleaved crystal and modest periphery wear are noted, but have minimal impact. Super neon-orange fluorescence!
