Item Description
Lustrous, amber calcite crystals are richly draped on the stunning, sculptural cluster of glassy colemanite spires on this very aesthetic specimen from the famous Boron Pit. Complete all-around and pristine. Amazing for such a delicate looking specimen. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. Jaime was a friend of Jim Minette, well-known dealer/collector, who was also mine engineer and mine manager of the U.S Borax Mines in Boron. This is a fantastic combination specimen from this locale.
