classic Pokerchip Calcite ex. Mullane Coll.

Item Description

A very artistic specimen of stacked, classic, Charcas pokerchip calcite crystals from Charcas. The pearlescent, extremely flattened, pseudohexagonal rhombs are up to 3.0 cm across. Very nearly a floater, with only one small point of attachment. Essentially pristine, which is rare for Charcas calcites. Ex Mullane Collection and comes with his older, faded label from the 1950s to early 70s - with a $5 price. But that was a lot at the time and place to pay, for one of these; and so it says what they valued at the time it came out when others might have been $1 each. This scuptural and very fine specimen is worth significantly more today!!
