Item Description

Supremely glassy, translucent, colorless, upright calcite disks form a striking, rich and excellent large two-sided plate from this famous mine. The imposing large rhomb is 5.5 cm. Essentially pristine, except for the very minimal periphery wear. Amazing, for such a soft mineral. This is an uncommon calcite style from this noted locale. Choice material from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Pink fluorescence.
