Item Description
Rare and showy combination material from an obscure locality in Morocco. Very pretty translucent, lavender, botryoidal, chalcedony lines a banded portion of a large vug or geode. Aesthetically set on the chalcedony are numerous colorless, translucent stacked clusters of waxy-luster, nailhead calcite crystals. Very seldom on the market in this combination quality from this locale. A must for the quartz, calcite or locality collector.
