Item Description

An impresssive, large 9.5 cm, lustrous, translucent, flattened doubly terminated calcite rhomb with tapered edges and nifty stepped-growth faces is aesthetically set on the large matrix and is nicely complimented with a smaller 5.5 cm doubly terminated rhomb. The floor of the matrix below the rhombs is covered with tiny, sparkly, gemmy, colorless fluorite cubes. The small cacite is pristine and one spot of edge wear is noted along the right topline of the large crystal, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Faint pink calcite and white fluorite fluorescence. A dramatic and classic large calcite from the Moscona Mine and the Paul Zerfass Collection # 857.
