Item Description
A rare, and beautiful, cave Calcite (sometimes mislabeled Aragonite) Helectite from the obscure Buffalo Mine in Utah. The sparkly and translucent interconnected crystals are of excellent quality, and they are just as visually enticing in person as they are in the pictures. The serpentine nature of this small cabinet cluster of horizontal stalactites (helectites) , as well as the quality of the crystals themselves, makes this cave grown calcite specimen so highly aesthetic. The lustrous reflections on this curved Helectite give the impression of snake scales. The base is actually an attachment point, and it allows the piece to stand sculpturally, on its own. Old material from the 1980s
