Item Description

Glassy, colorless, stepped-growth, calcite rhombs to 2.2 cm are attractively clustered atop mounded matrix covered with tiny, gemmy, yellow-green, fluorite cubes. A couple of rhombs have cleaved corners, but you have to look really hard to tell. An excellent and aesthetic combination piece from the famous mines of Asturias. Pink fluorescence on the calcite and ghostly white on the fluorite. Comes with a 1980s to 90s-era Roberts Minerals label.
