Item Description
Blockly, calcite rhombs are aesthetically set on matrix accented with small stilbite blades on this showy and excellent combination from this well-known Trap Rock quarry. The striking large rhomb is 3.1 cm long. Some of the rhomb faces are preferentially frosted on these translucent rhombs. A bit of noted bruising is certainly only a modest detraction to this classic combination. Ex Cynthia Payne Collection. Valued at $350 by the former dealer.
