MANGANOAN CALCITE (FLUORESCENT)

Manganoan calcite, also known as manganocalcite, is a pink manganese-rich variety of calcite. It crystallizes in a trigonal crystal system and forms rhombohedral or scalenohedral crystals. These crystals tend to display a pink color of which intensity can range anywhere from a pinkish-salmon to a hot pink. This variety of calcite often fluoresces.
