Item Description
Water-clear, gem, modified calcite scalenohedrons are pleasingly tinted pink by hematite inclusions on this very fine 19th century example from this famous iron mine. The two large crystals are easily over 2.0 cm on this showy piece. You can barely tell that the two large crystals have gently cleaved termination faces. Choice and showy material from the Cynthia Payne Collection.
