Item Description

A very cute and aesthetic, two-sided combination from this well-known locale. The sharp and sharply terminated, glassy, two-toned, tabular baryte blade is strikingly enhanced by the attached cluster of variably-sized, water-cler quartz points. The two large points look like rabbit ears and the large point, at 4.5 cm, is doubly terminated. Very nearly pristine. One baryte tip is contacted, with only trivial bruising and one large quartz tip is very gently bruised. Certainly only modest detractions to this very fine and sculptural combination from the Paco Gutierrez Collection.
