Item Description

Fine quality, lustrous and translucent, "rosette"-like groups of golden rhombic Calcite crystals, to 5.5 cm, are attractively scattered with sharp Galena crystals along with brownish Sphalerite crystals. For the most, the piece is in excellent condition, and displays beautifully. I really love the quality, gemminess and color of the Calcite on this one, especially with the unique crytal habit. A great cabinet specimen from the famous Oklahoma portion of the Tri-State District. Classic and excellent old-time combination material.
