Manganoan Calcite

A quartz and calcite matrix host a huge 7X6cm and 3cm thick central crystal attempting to cover the previously formed crystals. The color is an exquisite pink and the quality is top notch. Strong orange under LW. I would keep this one if it had a Tsumeb label! Ex Kenny Gay collection.

Locality: Bor Pit, Dal’Negorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Russia
