Mangano Calcite
The pale pink calcite that even fluoresces under UV light — mangano calcite opens the heart to angelic presence and the quiet tenderness of being loved without effort.
Overview
Mangano calcite is a pink variety of calcite colored by manganese inclusions. Major sources include Peru, Afghanistan, and Slovakia. It often fluoresces pink under UV light, a distinctive feature. At Mohs 3, it is soft.
Energetically, mangano calcite is traditionally called the angelic calcite and is associated with heart-chakra opening to angelic and divine presences.

Natural fluorescence under UV light is a known property of mangano calcite, not a sign of treatment.
"Mangano calcite is rare."
Available but less common than rose quartz or other pink heart stones.
