Item Description
A beautiful two-toned spherical group of yellow Calcite (reminiscent of Wavellite from Llallagua, Bolivia), partially colored a beautiful dove-grey by inclusions of jamesonite. These sometimes also take the form of aggregates of bladed crystals from different pockets at the same locality. Quite a unique Calcite form and color that you do not see from anywhere else! These were once common in the early 90s, not so now. Very attractive and essentially damage free. Ex Wouter Van Tichelen Collection.
