Description

Superb, floater piece of prasem with manganoan calcite! Prasem from Bulgaria is not common on the market, but the pieces are impressive! Here we see a miniature of thin, tessiner habit quartz with chlorite inclussions with fluorescent manganoan calcite rhombohedra on the top, like flowers! The luster is wet on the calcite crystals and silk on the quartz crystals.The piece is pristine all around and can be displayed in many angles!
