Soft pink with delicate white stripes, this mangano calcite moon is polished to a silky finish and cut thick for a substantial feel. It measures about 3.75 to 4.1 inches long, 2.5 to 2.75 inches tall and 0.75 to 1 inch thick.
Shine a UV flashlight on it and the pink calcite glows a bright orange-pink thanks to its manganese content. That makes it a favorite for fluorescent mineral collectors, and a fun surprise for kids and guests. Display it on a stand, a nightstand or an altar for a gentle touch of color.
