Calcite ex. Richard Barstow Coll.

Item Description

A spectacular single crystal of classic style, from the late 1800s in England. This was in the Richard Barstow collection until his early passing. Crystals of this complex and beautiful habit, in such excellent condition, represent the apex of what the collector could aspire to own fro mthis location. The crystal is complete all around, as close to pristine as youc an wish for, and just riveting for clarity and luster. It is in every sense the epitomy of the English classic for this size and style. It is a little large to be a miniature, a little smallish overall as a full small cab, so we call it a large miniature but it would not fit in competition as such. It is, however, stunning, and large enough to command respect. Valued $1800-2250
