large Calcite with Pyrite (RARE style) Lemanski Coll.

Item Description

Surreal and RARE large calcite combination from an unknown Chenzhou, China locality. Fantastic oriented "Mercedes Benz star" coatings of sparkly, oxide-tinted pyrite microcrystals are dramatically set on the terminations of the densely intergrown, glassy, translucent, nailhead calcite crystals nicely accented with stepped-growth faces. The impressive large central crystal is 4.7 cm tall. Moderate dark pink fluorescence. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection. A rare and unique style and unique color of pyrite on calcite from Chenzhou.
