Calcite helectite

Item Description

Cave helectites are a classic and desirable calcite varietal form from the famous mines at Bisbee. This sculptural piece is from the Holbrook Mine. The multiple "arms" of glassy, translucent calcite rhombs appear to defy gravity. The tip on the longest "arm" is pristine, with most of the other tips being attachment points. Showy and excellent calcite from this classic locale with multiple display possibilities. this is a classic example of a Bisbee calcite in this style, valued $500
