Item Description
This far southwest Texas ranch is well-known for a variety of agates and fluorescent calcite specimens. This is a RARE and sculptural pseudomorph of chalcedony casts after large sharp dogtooth calcites crystals. The calcites reached at least 4.0 cm on this interesting textural two-sided piece. The striking casts dominate one side with nubby chalcedony coating the cast tips on the other side. Probably older material, but no proof. Ex J.G. Dixon and Tom Wolfe Collections. A must for the Texas or species collector.
