Item Description
Dramatic and aesthetic large two-generation calcite from this famous Pennsylvania limestone quarry. This sculptural piece of glorious golden-amber, lustrous and translucent calcite is dominated by the striking 6.2 cm blocky rhomb in the front. Fantastic stacked columns, especially the 7.5 cm column, of nailhead rhombs are an outstanding complement to the large rhomb. The piece GLOWS, when back lit! This is a large, superb and pristine calcite from the George Feist Collection # 3065. Specimens of this size and quality are seldom on the market today. Valued at $1500 and worth it.
