Item Description
A very aesthetic and classic large combination plate from this famous quarry. Three, lustrous, translucent, tan, flattened, calcite rhombs, to 3.0 cm, are well-placed atop the massive dolomite matrix covered with lustrous, pretty pastel-pink dolomite rhombs. The scattered, gemmy, included quartz points are a fine accent and contrast. The large calcite rhomb is pristine and the second rhomb has just a bit of edge wear. Off-white calcite and orange-pink dolomite fluorescence. Choice and showy large combination material from the Robert Nowakowski Collection.
