Calcite (2 generations) w/ Realgar (Payne Coll.)

Item Description

Cherry-red realgar prisms are a fine contrast and are nicely clustered, scattered and are included-in a very showy cluster of glassy, translucent, striated, dogtooth calcite crystals. The beautiful, second generation, amber calcite perched on the side is a super accent. The large crystals in the center and right have cleaved terminations. However, the smaller calcites in the front and the amber crystal are pristine. Excellent, highly representative combination material from the Shimen Mine and the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Valued by the former dealer at $395.
