Item Description

An aesthetic and classic calcite combination specimen from the famous Sweetwater Mine. An essentially pristine (super trivial bruising), 4.8 cm, gemmy to translucent, amber scalenohedron with striking stepped-growth faces is very jaunitly set on the limestone matrix plate. The plate is covered with tiny sparkly dolomite rhombs, scattered nifty galena cuboctahedrons and a light sprinkling of tiny iridescent chalcopyrites. Very showy and excellent combination material.
