Item Description
A striking calcite specimen from this uncommon old locale. The glassy colorless calcite rhombs have a nifty golden iridescent iron oxide coating and the 2.3 cm dominating central rhomb is a penetration twin. The noted periphery wear has very minimal impact to the quality of this very showy piece. Seldom on the market. Ex Gene and Doris Wright Collection.
