Botryoidal Calcite (classic old Italy locale)

Item Description

An outstanding large calcite from this classic Italian locale. Juicy, translucent, straw-yellow botryoids of tiny calcite rhombs dramatically and richly line a striking, large sculptural vug in vesicular tephritic lava. The bit of noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this very attractive piece. From the 1980s!
