Item Description

Gemmy, transparent to translucent, complex colorless calcite rhombs to 1.7 attractively cover the front of this surprising two-sided plate. The rhombs spill over on the edges to the back, but there are only very tiny rhombs on the matrix. Pristine. Tsumeb, like Dal'negorsk, is legendary for calcite quality and diversity. A fine and excellent example. Valued at $350 by the former dealer.
