Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, translucent, tan, calcite rhombs are very aesthetically set on the mounded matrix of slightly curved dolomite rhomb crystal clusters. The impresssive, pristine central rhomb is 3.2 cm on the diagonal. The major calcite rhombs are pristine, except for one gently bruised corner. Choice combination material from this less well-known Canadian locale. Modest ghostly white SW fluorescence. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
