Manganoan Calcite Heart – UV Reactive – Peru – 2.1 oz

This beautiful Manganoan Calcite Heart from Peru weighs approximately 2.1 oz and measures 1.8 in x 1.7 in x 0.87 in, featuring a polished heart shape and exceptional fluorescent response under ultraviolet light.

Under normal lighting, the specimen displays the soft pink tones characteristic of manganese-rich calcite. When exposed to 365nm UV light, the heart transforms dramatically, glowing with a vibrant pink to red fluorescence that makes Manganoan Calcite one of the most sought-after fluorescent minerals among collectors.

The polished heart carving enhances both the natural color and the UV performance of the material, creating a display piece that is equally attractive in daylight and under ultraviolet illumination. Its compact size makes it perfect for mineral collections, fluorescent displays, desks, or gift giving.
