Item Description
A striking, large and sharp, 6.5 x 4.1 cm, color-zoned, pokerchip calcite crystal is very aesthetically set amongst smaller crystals in this showy and excellent specimen from the famous mines at Charcas, Mexico. The center of the glassy, super sharp-faced, pseudohexagonal crystal is water-clear and colorless, while the outer layers are milky-white. This crystal is pristine. A couple of the smaller crystals are cleaved but the main core is complete and striking, with unusually robust crystals. Beautiful, highly competitive material that is among the best for its size I have seen from here, from the Evan Jones Mexico Collection. Valued $750-950
