Item Description
A very showy well-arranged group of sharp, translucent to gemmy, nearly colorless (soft yellow hue) rhombohedra of Calcite associated with a few small "tufts" of snow white Mesolite. The piece comes from a locality in northwest Oregon not too far from Corvallis. The largest crystal measures 3.3 cm. Such excellent aesthetics, despite a bit of roughness. You don't see many of these on the market. From the Cynthia Payne Collection.
