Item Description

A wonderful small cabinet pseudomorphs specimen featuring incredibly sharp, distinctive pale lavender-grey colored pseudomorphs of Calcite replacing preexisting Gypsum (var: Selenite). The piece is dotted with tan colored Siderite "balls". It's remarkable how sharp these pseudomorphs are, and the unique color makes for an attractive overall specimen. SUPERB quality all the way around, and better in person than the photos indicate! Ex Wouter Van Tichelen Collection.
