Item Description

Shocking color marks this piece as absolutely superior to most other speicmens in this size range, form the locality. The color, the sharp crystals, the 3-dimensional rolling nature of the specimen?all combine to really make this a standout among the recent finds here, and frankly one of the most shockingly pretty specimens I can say I have sold at auction, period. The photos just do not do the piece justice. It is light years beyond the average level of most co-calcite specimens you will see for sale. I can guarantee a full return privilege on this if it does not knock your socks off...it is MUCH MUCH more intense color and overall impact than the pics can depict. Valued $1750-2000
