Calcite w/ Realgar (Payne Coll.)

Item Description

Bright cherry-red realgar is a colorful accent to this aesthetic pair of lustrous, translucent to transparent, calcite scalenohedrons from this well-known mine. The large crystal has nifty layers of iron oxides? Included within it. The gently cleaved terminations to both crystals are certainly only modest detractions to this showy and excellent combintion from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Valued at $295 by the former dealer.
