Item Description

Two generations of calcite crystal rhomb stalactites have been pseudomorphed by pretty pastel-pink rhodochrosite on this very sculptural specimen of from this well-known Greek mine. I particulary like the size contrast between the larger and smaller pseudos and the artistic way the larger crystals are concentrated on the upper right. An outstanding essentially pristine pseudo, except for the noted periphery wear, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Choice and excellent material valued at $1000 from this classic locale. .
