Item Description
A sculptural and aesthetic specimen from the El Potosi Mine. Sparkly, jewel-like, tiny calcite rhombs cover the curved gossan matrix crust. A 2.3 cm, glassy, compound rhomb crowns the piece and looks like a giant diamond on a necklace of smaller diamonds. Showy and excellent material from the Harold Urish Collection # 808 and obtained in a trade at the Tucson Show in February, 1994.
