Item Description

Fantastically sparkly, variably iridescent, psychedelic chalcopyrite microcrystal sphenoids richly and preferentially cover the sculptural jackstraw cluster of dogtooth calcite crystals on this dramatically colorful two-sided combination from a small early 2015 Chinese find. The large calcite is 3.9 cm. The bruised tip to one crystal is certainly only a modest detraction. Moderate pink calcite fluorescence. Get one, when you can.
