Manganese & Calcite Cluster – Sparkly from Every Angle
This raw stunner is bursting with texture, colour, and sparkle. On one side, you've got deep red-purple manganese packed with natural glitter. On the other? Flashy white calcite catching the light. And weaving through the whole piece—gorgeous golden tones that look like sunbeams caught in stone
All the sparkle? That’s manganese showing off with tiny glitter-like crystals. The chunky, glassy bits? That’s calcite catching the sun. Together, they make one seriously textured and magical specimen that feels ancient and alive all at once.
How it formed: This piece came to life underground, where manganese built up over time and eventually calcite grew into the cracks and cavities. The golden sparkle comes from fine manganese crystals, and the calcite formed later, giving it those chunky, crystalline flashes. It’s nature doing layered, sparkly art.
Vibe check: Manganese is all about grounded strength and quiet power. Calcite brings clarity and calm. Together, they’re a great combo for steadying your energy and reminding you to slow down—but stay lit.
