Item Description

A dense large cluster of intergrown rosettes of glassy, colorless, nailhead calcite rhombs crowns the quartz crystal matrix on this sculptural and excellent, 360-degree combination from this famed locale. Pyrites attached to the quartz are a nice accent. Complete all-around and in great shape, with just a negligible bit of bruising to the calcites near the top and a bit of periphery wear to the quartz on one side. Moderate rich dark pink calcite fluorescence. Classy combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
