Item Description

Juicy, translucent, straw-yellow botryoids of tiny calcite rhombs dramatically and richly line a large vug in vesicular tephritic lava on this excellent specimen from this classic Italian locale. The striking large double botryoid is 2.5 cm across. The bit of noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this showy piece with several fine display views. from the 1980s!
