Item Description
Transparent, colorless, calcite rhombs are richly and attractively lined up on the sculptural, sintered, latticework matrix covered with sparkly, tan spherules of smithsonite microcrystals of this showy and excellent combination specimen collected by Evan Jones in 2006 at the famous Glove Mine of Arizona. The back of this piece is very nifty, showing both the straight and curved, parallel-growth of the latticework covered by the sparkly smithsonite. UNUSUAL LOCALITY PIECE! Valued at $200-300
