This is a lot of 7 Mangano Calcite cabochons from Ancash, Peru, graded AA to AAA. Mangano calcite is calcite colored rose and peach by manganese. They measure 24 to 39 mm at Mohs 3, 217.5 carats in total. Every stone is natural, untreated, pictured and measured. A ready-made lot for a cabochon collection or pendants.
A one-of-a-kind piece sells once, so it rarely has reviews of its own. These are verified reviews of other Beyond Bohemian orders, not of this piece.
Mangano calcite is calcite with manganese in its structure, which gives it soft rose, peach and coral tones, often banded with white. Calcite is soft, so these polish to a warm satin glow.
