Calcite on Smithsonite

Item Description

Bladed rosettes of lustrous, colorless calcite rhombs are richly and attractively peppered on the large, very sculptural and vuggy, silicified limestone matrix covered with very sparkly, nubby, brown, smithonite botryoids. This is a very rare, aesthetic, large combination piece from the famous Monte Cristo Mine at Rush, Arkansas. From a museum collection. A must for the species or locality collector.
