Item Description
Perfectly symmetrical pair of Calcite spheres tinted a pretty grey color by inclusions of Boulangerite (Herb called it his "pair of balls" ....of course). They are 3.3 and 3.2 cm across, respectively. This is a near-floater, with one possible small contact point at one end. Choice for these particular combinations, this has very good BALANCED aesthetics and visual appeal. From the personal collection of choice miniatures and small cabs we obtained from Herb when he retired in 2008. And yes, it actually does have his amusing label to accompany the piece...with the quote from well known old midwest dealer Gary Hansen.
