Item Description
A showy, parallel-growth cluster of very glassy colorless calcite scalenohedrons from Tsumeb. The three primary crystals have gem, water-clear terminations above the translucent bodies. The two outside tips have a very trivial bit of rubbing. Tsumeb, like Dal'negorsk, is famous for the diversity and quality of calcite. Scalenohedrons, such as this, are not that common. Showy two-sided calcite from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
