Item Description
A sculptural, jackstraw cluster of lustrous, translucent, calcite scalenohedrons with frosted faces and sharp, colorful chlorite phantoms. The two large crystals have contacted/cleaved terminations, probably from contacting the roof of the vug. This remains a showy and colorful example of the combination species. Very little new material has come on to the market recently.
