Item Description
Striking, choice, large, calcite crystals are very aesthetically set on matrix on this impressive, LARGE CABINET specimen from the famous Xianghuapu Mine. The highly lustrous, well-striated, low rhombohedral or nailhead crystals reach 9.5 cm on this impressive piece! The two large crystals look like butterfly wings. Very nearly pristine, with only super-trivial edgewear. Outstanding, sculptural, large example of the species and locale. Valued at $1200-1500. Light pink fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
