RM599   Kutnohorite with Manganoan Calcite

Let me add another "delicious" specimen of kutnohorita with manganoan calcite. Kutnohorite is a rare member of dolomite group, a calcium carbonate with manganese, magnesium and few iron... uncommon. In the specimen appears as acicular snowy white crystals on which have grown a large group of pink crystals of calcite with manganese. Good brilliance and calcite extremely fluorescent with reddish tone. In the back side we can observe a particular radial aggregates of kutnohorite, this is another shape of the species. We have both in the same sample... The aesthetics of the formations is unquestionable and the species is a classic hard to find.

Size: 10,0 x 10,0 x 6,5 cm.
Found in 2009.
Fluorescent under LW-UV and SW-UV lights
