Calcite with Boulangerite inclusions

Item Description

Without question, these are among the most distinctive, unique and interesting Calcite specimens out there. This piece comprises lustrous, layered "rosettes" (intergrown rhombohedra) of Calcite with sharp faces which are included by dark silvery-grey Boulangerite. The attractive "twisted" form of the crystals is striking and the piece is complete on all sides. Minor Dolomite can be seen on the piece as well. It can easily be displayed from several angles. This is a good one for what it is. From an old east coast collection, accompanied by a label from recently deceased mineral dealer, Larry Conklin of New York City.
