Item Description

A striking and aesthetic jackstraw cluster of sharp, gemmy, rich golden-yellow calcite scalenohedrons, to 4.6 cm, from this famous locale. The bit of purple fluorite in the front adds pizzazz. You barely notice, that a few of the calcite tips are gently cleaved, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Classic material from the Mervyn Ford Collection.
