Description

Beautiful pink colored clustered crystals of manganocalcite on quartz. From the Sasar mine, of which you very rarely see material offered. Really ignorable damage, mostly at the quartz crystals at the side. I had to darken the images so you can see the color. It was very hard to make this visible. It is a very beautiful, light specimen. Not nearly as dark as I made it.
