Item Description

A striking and unusual looking large. 360-degree doubly terminated calcite crystal with accessories from the famous Elmwood Mine. The impressive, sharp, steep primary termination is gem and has the desirable amber color saturation. The fantastic multiple terminations at the other end are accented with purple fluorite and embedded sphalerite and barite. Sparkly marcasite flakes richly included in the very glassy, lustrous, transparent to translucent crystal are a RARE and super accessory. The primary termination and both larger crystals on the other end have lightly bruised terminations, which are certainly only minimal detractions to this amazingly sculptural combination calcite from the Paul Zerfass Collection # 25.
