Item Description
A striking CABINET calcite plate from this locale. Dramatic, isolated, upright, calcite scalenohedrons are expertly lined up on the calcite matrix plate. The sharp, lustrous, translucent, tan crystals reach 5.0 cm. Sparkly, drusy, white calcite on the crystals and matrix looks just like snow and is a super accent! This beautiful and aesthetic, two-sided specimen is nearly pristine, with only three gently bruised termination tips. Barely noticeable and certainly not a detraction. Very uncommon in this style from this locale. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
