Item Description
This classic tephrite lava quarry is well-known for exceptional hemispherical calcite specimens. A 2.0 cm, lustrous, translucent, tan, compound ball composed of very nifty, tiny, stepped-growth rhombs is aesthetically set in the vesicle A striking and excellent display specimen. Many came out in the late 1980s but they have been scarce since. This is a good one. Ex Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Valued by the former dealer at $295.
