Item Description

Sparkly, tiny, brass-yellow pyritohedrons are attractively and preferentially clustered atop and scattered around the sculptural small cabinet mounded plate of intergrown spherical clusters of tan, lustrous and translucent, oxide-tinted calcite rhombohedrons. The underlying, untinted colorless calcite fluoresces light orange under LW UV light. Ex De Natura (Les Presmyk) dealer stock. Very uncommon and showy combination material from recent finds at this obscure important underground precious metal, polymetallic, fluorite mine.
