Item Description

An aesthetic and sculptural small cabinet combination from the famous Gibraltar Mine at Naica. A 3.4 cm on diagonal complete all-around and pristine calcite rhomb is dramatically perched atop intergrown, lustrous, jet-black, twinned sphalerite crystals. The sharp, translucent, colorless calcite is partially coated. Sharp, lustrous, frosted, translucent, colorless fluorite octahedrons, to 1.1 cm, are fantastically embedded on the front and one side of the calcite rhomb. Rich patches of tiny quartz points on the sphalerites are a fine accent and accessory. Hot pink calcite and light blue fluorite fluorescence. An uncommon and very artistic combination from Naica.
