Item Description

A cute combination from the famous Sweetwater Mine. A 4.5 cm, glassy, doubly terminated calcite crystals (with a phantom) is dramatically perched on a nubby intergrown cluster of galena cuboctahedrons. Scattered iridescent golden chalcopyrite sphenoids are a super and colorful accent. This aesthetic 360-degree piece is nearly pristine. You barely notice the gentle bruising to the calcite termination. Classic and choice combination material from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection.
