Calcite with Hydroxy-Apophyllite

Item Description

Razor-sharp, perfectly gemmy slender Calcite crystal that is 5 cm long. The crystal faces are elongated and run the entire length of the crystal, which is cleaved at the base. Atop the crystal are two cubic, striated Apophyllites, the largest of which is .7 cm. An attractive, aesthetic combination piece, either part of which is very good. Some edgewear on the Calcite, but it does not really affect the overall appearance. The Apophyllites, are the rare hydroxy variety, as opposed to the more common fluoro-Apophyllite from India and elsewhere. SUPERB Kalahari combo piece!
