Item Description

A 4.3 cm, doubly terminated, gemmy, tan complex calcite crystal is exquisitely set between two lustrous and translucent, rich grape-purple fluorite cubes. The rich coatings and peppering of smaller, sparkly calcite rhombs and iridescent chalcopyrite crystals really adds pizzazz to this very aesthetic two-sided combination from the Ross Lillie Collection # 1052. Collected in May, 1991 from pillar robbing. Pristine.
