Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, snow-white calcite rhombs, to 2.5 cm, cover the front of this sculptural, striking and excellent two-sided combination rib from famed Mina Ojuela. A myriad of glassy, flesh-colored hemimorphite blades covers the back of the piece. The base has more calcites and hemimorphites. The ends are the attachment points on this impressive piece, that displays well without aid. Choice and uncommon older combination material from the James Zigras Mexico Collection.
