Item Description
This is an aesthetic and classic specimen of the famous Brushy Creek Calcites featuring eye-catching smoky colored, well-formed, "dogtooth"-shaped crystals with sharp, well-formed faces which are partially coated by beautiful rainbow iridescent Chalcopyrite, creating a stark contrast of color. The result is a showy and three-dimensional display piece The largest Calcite crystal measures 2.7 cm long. No real damage that I can see (with the exception of the back/base where the piece was removed from the pocket wall), and the specimen is quite showy. Classic material, that was at one point fairly plentiful on the market, but is now rather hard to find.
Ex Bud Standley Collection.
