Manganoan Calcite (Manganocalcite) is Calcite with high manganese content, leading to the pastel pink hue seen in these pieces. It is a rarer form of Calcite than typically seen around the world. Aesthetic clusters of pale pink, twinning Manganoan Calcite crystals with strong hot pink fluorescence under a black light.

Prized since antiquity for its warm, golden luster and similar appearance to gold, Pyrite has earned its spot in many collectors’ displays. The mineral gets its name from the Greek, meaning “of fire,” for its ability to create sparks when struck against steel.
