About Manganoan Calcite
Manganoan calcite, also known as mangano calcite or pink calcite, is a manganese-rich variety of calcite, giving it a distinctive pink color that ranges from soft pastel to vibrant rose hues. The presence of manganese not only colors the mineral but often creates fluorescent qualities under UV light, where manganoan calcite emits a lovely pink or red glow. This mineral is usually found in massive, granular forms, or in well-defined rhombohedral crystal structures, with a silky or vitreous luster.
Primarily sourced from locations like Peru, Bulgaria, and China, manganoan calcite is valued both for its beauty and metaphysical properties.
