TM86AM8: A novelty at Tucson Virtual 2021. Original fan-shaped growths on a matrix of translucent Quartz crystals, with bright luster and an intense pink color, the color being their intrinsic natural color, not due to inclusions of iron oxides. The precise name of the mine is not yet known, but surely with the passage of time it will become known.
