Calcite (old - classic locale) Tom Wolfe Coll.

Item Description

A dramatic and excellent large old-time calcite from the famous Joplin Field. This sculptural piece has three graduated-in-size juicy, translucent rich golden-yellow scalenohedrons with striking stepped-growth faces and trigonal nailhead terminations. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of scuffing on the sides, which is certainly only modest detraction to this fine classic. Ex J.G. Dixon and Tom Wolfe Collections. Such pieces SELDOM have the date of acquisition, as shown on the back of the label. Valued at $700-900 for size, information and high quality.
