Calcite on Amethyst (classic locale) ex Prince coll.

Item Description

A striking, very uncommon, two-sided, CABINET specimen from the less well-known San Vicente Mine at Guanajuato, Mexico. One side of the thin, banded, amethyst crust is festooned with very striking, layered, "sandwich style", pokerchip calcite crystals to 1.4 cm. The pokerchip crystals are coated with a druse of secondary calcite, giving them a nifty sugary appearance. The other side is dramatically studded with pretty purple amethyst crsytals. The calcite side is in super shape, except for the contact area. This is a very fine and rare combination specimen from this historic locale.
