Item Description

Glassy, frosted, stepped-growth, single and doubly terminated (5.7 cm - largest) scalenohedrons are aesthetically set on the two-sided plate covered with glassy harmotome crystals. The calcites are pristine. Old-time, outstanding and rare combination material from this classic locale from the Robert Whitmore Collection.
