Item Description
An impressive and sculptural large intergrown cluster of classic pokerchip calcite crystals from Charcas. The translucent, pearlescent, hexagonal crystals have a light iron oxide coating, that adds much character and color contrast. The striking, large pokerchip is 5.0 x 3.7 cm. Nearly pristine, with just a bit of bruising to the large calcite, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Modest orange-pink fluorescence. Choice large calcite from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection and has several fine display views. Valued by the former dealer at $650.
