Calcite w/ Stilbite (Karl Warning Coll.)

Item Description

An aesthetic and sculptural 360-degree small cabinet combination from this well-known former Soviet-era iron mine, famous for beautiful gemmy golden calcite twins. Four gemmy pale yellow to light gray twinned calcite rhombs with satin lustre faces are attractively clustered on the thin matrix crust. The impressive large twin is 4.2 cm across. A super accessory is the rich covering of tiny tan stilbite blades on the "porch" between the two clusters of rhombs. An excellent pristine example of calcite and stilbite in combination. Ex Karl Warning Calcite Collection and acquired at the Executive Inn at the Tucson Show from Heliodor (Brad van Scriver) on February 11, 1996.
