Calcite and Chalcopyrite on Dolomite ex Whitmore Coll.

Item Description

An outstanding and aesthetic calcite combination specimen from the famous Sweetwater Mine. A 4.7 cm, pristine, gemmy and lustrous, amber calcite crystal is dramatically perched atop the sculptural matrix of sharp, lustrous, dolomite rhombs. Fabulously iridescent chalcopyrite crystals are beautifully peppered on the dolomite and are a superb accent to this dramatic, excellent and colorful combination piece. The artistic quality of this piece is exceptional. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection # 35. From the 1980s, now classic material.
