Item Description

A very interesting and sculptural combination specimen from a New Find at this prolific locale. Glassy, translucent, chocolate-brown, calcite rhombs with striking cogwheel faces crown the piece and surround two, nifty, frosted, color-zoned, blue-green, fluorite octahedrons. A wreath of small quartz points, with a couple of larger quartzs, plus matt-gray massive arsenopyrite rest on the sawed matrix. This is a VERY UNUSUAL calcite form anywhere! Yet, very artistic.
