Manganocalcite
About Manganocalcite
Manganocalcite (also called Manganoan calcite) is a variety of calcite that is rich in manganese, which gives the mineral a pink color.
The most fascinating thing about this stone is that it is fluorescent. Put under ultraviolet light the stone emits a strong purple/orange glow.
A New Mine for Manganocalcite
Till 2024, there has been only one mine for manganocalcite in Peru. The manganocalcite vein was very thin (max 6 cm thick) and did only allow for small spheres and other objects.
Over the last couple of years, we noted the quality of the material getting worse and worse. It showed less fluorescence, more white chalky contents, holes, and black impurities as well as less good color. At the same time, the provider did increase prices constantly. All this is a clear sign of a mineral vein being fully exploited and disappearing.
Now we have good news. There is a new vein of manganocalcite and we will have access to top-quality material with super fluorescence, great banded color, without chalky parts or black impurities, and no porous material full of holes.
And the best of all. The material comes in huge chunks. For the first time ever you will be able to order big towers, spheres, and other decor objects made in manganocalcite.
