Item Description

Elegant fan-like sprays of graduated-in-size RARE pseudomorphs of quartz after anhydrite blades are aesthetically set on sparing matrix on this very fine two-sided small cabinet. Anhydrite is RARE from the famous basalt deposits at Irai. Nearly pristine, two broken blade tips reveal these are actually hollow quartz epimorphs after anhydrite, adding pizzazz. A fascinating and rare two-sided specimen.
