Calcite var Manganoan

An exquisite miniature of pearly pink masses of manganoan calcite. Comes with a Gene Tribbey label , and purchased from Dan Weinrich in 2008. It also comes with a data card and another collection label (unnamed) with the original $10 price. I suspect this piece came out prior to the 21st century, and likely in the 1980’s. A special piece.

Locality: El Potosi Mine, Francisco Portillo, West Camp, Santa Eulalia, Mexico, Mexico
