Item Description

An interesting large old-time plate with several generations of calcite present. Larger, glassy, calcite rhombs to 2.5 cm are attractively scattered on the plate covered with much smaller rhombs. The back of the plate has areas of the disk shaped, "paper" calcite rhombs. Classic, old-time material from an old museum collection.
