Item Description

Intergrown rosettes of pearlescent, translucent, rounded "paper" calcite disks form a beautifully attractive and sculptural 360-degree small cabinet from the famous mines at Dalnegorsk. The large disk is an impressive 3.8 cm. Complete all-around and pristine. Neon orange-pink fluorescence. Dalnegorsk, like Tsumeb, is renowned for calcite diversity and quality. This is an outstanding and very uncommon example of this varietal.
