Calcite (2 generations) & Citrine Quartz (RARE combo) Lockhart Coll.

Item Description

A VERY RARE and sculptural small cabinet combination from this well-known Swiss locale. Striking wheat sheaves of elongated, snow-white Calcite crystals are dramatically accompanied by RARE gem yellow Citrine Quartz crystals and two RARE pastel-pink Manganoan Calcite rhombohedrons. The large Manganoan Calcite rhomb is 4.2 cm on edge. The placement of the 4.7 cm Quartz crystal in the center with the striking multiple Citrine terminations and the small Citrines growing out of the Manganoan Calcite rhombs really adds pizzazz to this exceptional rarity. The locality is well-known for fine Quartz and Calcite specimens, but Calcite of this wheat sheaf habit and Manganoan Calcite are RARE from here. Moderate pink fluorescence on both Calcite types. Unique combination material from the Brent Lockhart Swiss Collection.
