Item Description

A sculptural and impressive 360-degree calcite specimen from this well-known extinct Alston Moor mine. Stacked clusters of glassy, translucent, nailhead rhombs form this dramatic piece. Complete all-around and pristine, this is an outstanding example of the species and noted locale. Every turn presents a different perspective. Specimens of this artistic quality are rarely on the market. Modest pink fluorescence. Ex F.W. Bull Collection.
