Calcite on Chalcedony (D.R. Kennedy Coll.)

Item Description

Wow! This is certainly one of the most unusual, sculptural and colorful large calcite and chalcedony combinations we have seen from the famed Deccan Basalt Traps of Maharashtra. A striking, 3.2 x 2.4 x 2.0 cm, rectangular "castle" with blocky, lustrous and translucent golden-brown calcite rhomb corner "towers" is embedded in a sparkly mounded second generation of colorless drusy chalcedony dramatically and aesthetically set above the rolling "plain" of the vug lined with strikingly contrasting sparkly cornflower-blue chalcedony. Every turn of this exotic piece presents a fantastically different perspective to the calcite and chalcedony castle. RARE and most excellent combination material in this style and high quality. A must for the species or locality collector.
