Item Description

Densely and attractively clustered, pearlescent, translucent, bone-white dogtooth calcite crystals cover the large scuptural mounded plate on this showy classic from famed Tsumeb. The two large crystals are both 3.7 cm long. The modest bit of scattered bruising certainly has minimal impact to the overall excellence of this specimen. Tsumeb, like Dalnegorsk is renowned for calcite quality and diversity and this is a fine example of this style. Ex Shields Flynn Collection and has two fine display views.
