Item Description

An otherworldly, amazingly sculptural and rare combination pseudomorph from the famous San Antonio Mine at Santa Eulalia. A myriad of glassy, tiny dogtooth calcite crystals has pseudomorphed at dramatic 360-degree intergrown cluster of stout tabular anhydrite spearpoints. The impressive large dominating blade is 7.4 cm tall. The striking cluster of rounded, bulbous, shockingly iridescent pyrites with another hidden on the bottom are fantastic stark accessories to this surreal piece. Complete all-around and pristine, the piece appears to a very rare floater, as no attachments are noted. A superb and rare combination pseudomorph from the Ken Roberts Pseudomorph Collection. Valued at $1000 and certainly worth it. A MUST for the pseudomorph, species or locality collector!
