Item Description

An EXCELLENT, classic, super-sharp, doubly terminated, gemmy and lustrous, amber calcite crystal from the small mine in Hoxie - I had one of these rare, glorious twins in my childhood collection and prized it highly. I have seen just a handful, in 25 years, of looking.. This CABINET-SIZED beauty has very gemmy terminations. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, except the contact on the base and the super-trivial edgewear on the terminations. Not ethe complex, bevelled tips! These really stand out in person from sweetwater or tristate material, to which they look superficially similar. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
