Item Description
Coral-like stacked clusters of tiny, glassy, translucent calcite rhombs form a very sculptural, 360-degree arborescent small cabinet from the famous Panasqueira Mine. I really like the form of this artistic piece. It looks like a flocked Christmas tree. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only modest, barely noticeable periphery wear. The quartz crystal shard at the attachment base adds character. Excellent and classic calcite from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
