Fluorescent manganocalcite crystal (LCESP009)

$190.00$192.85

Beautiful large cabinet-sized fluorescent manganocalcite crystal (LCESP009) from Peru

Manganocalcite or Manganoan calcite is a variety of calcite rich in manganese, which gives the mineral a pink color. Its chemical formula is (Ca,Mn)CO3. The most fascinating thing about this mineral is that it is fluorescent. Under UV light, the crystal emits a strong purple/orange glow.

Botryoidal crystals form when many nearby nuclei, specks of sand, dust, or other particles, are present. Acicular or fibrous crystals grow radially around the nuclei at the same rate, appearing as spheres. Eventually, these spheres abut or overlap with those that are nearby.

Large Cabinet-size: 160 x 105 x 45 mm.

Weight: 394 gr

Gemrock Peru is a global leader spearheading sustainability and environmental conservation in the crystal and gemstone industry. Furthermore, we are now offering you a unique opportunity to take part in our effort. Do eliminate the carbon footprint of your crystal. And then do even better: become carbon-positive. Here is how it works: If you buy this crystal by choosing the “Carbon Positive Price” we will add 1.5 cents per USD to your crystal. We are going to use this additional amount in order to plant trees in a reforestation project in the Peruvian cloud forest. As a result, we do neutralize your crystals’ carbon footprint. Furthermore, you are helping to restore previously destroyed rainforests.

In addition to this, we will match your support. We will reward your conscious act by matching your support with the same amount. This way we are doubling the donation. Therefore we are creating a carbon-positive product that removes more carbon from the atmosphere than it adds to it.
