Item Description

Fantastic stalactites at the crest and coatings of sparkly, gemmy, golden-yellow calcite scalenohedrons dramatically cover the front of this sculptural small cabinet, with a RARE and striking BONUS on the back. Pearlescent fossilized mollusc shells are embedded in the back and base of the Cretaceous-aged Pierre Shale matrix! Elk Creek is renowned for world-class barite on calcite specimens and this is a spectacular, colorful and most unusual two-sided calcite combination piece.
