Calcite var Manganoan on Galena

Obtuse rhombohedron formation of calcite on galena that gives off a lovely pinkish hue under black light. This beautiful and unique mineral specimen comes from a now closed mine, because in 2015 due to uncontrolled flooding, the mine has re-flooded, preserving the crystals in their mineral-rich water.
