Item Description
An exotic and aesthetic manganoan calcite from this important Chinese locale. The pretty pastel-pink, stacked flattened rhombs are interestingly slightly curved. The rhombs have intense sparkly luster and look like frozen pink lemonade! The striking crystal arrangement certainly adds pizzazz to this very showy piece. In great shape, overall, with just a bit of edge bruising. This is an uncommon and attractive curved varietal of calcite rhombs from this locale. Bright neon-orange fluorescence.
