Calcite cast after Calcite w/ Sphalerite (illustrated - Stoudt & Phillips Coll.)

Item Description

A striking pseudomorph from Naica and the Dave Stoudt Collection # 1112 and the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection. Beautifully shimmering, luminous, tan, microcrystalline calcite has pseudomorphed and casted a large, sharp calcite rhomb. Sharp sphalerite crystals are aesthetically scattered on the faces. Flip the piece over and the interior is composed of another generation of aggregates of tiny calcite scalenohedrons. An outstanding and unusual two-sided calcite pseudo from Naica.
