Item Description
A rare, perhaps, UNIQUE, beautiful stair-step cluster of sharp, translucent pretty mint-green dogtooth cuprian calcite crystals with shimmering silky lustre from an obscure Guangxi locale. The matrix is massive calcite. This is very fine two-sided small cabinet is from the Steve Smale Collection, one of the great mineral collectors of our time. He probably obtained this piece while working in China 20 years ago. Note that there is no way to confirm this location, and it may instead be from Shikoushan in Hunan - I honestly am not sure. It predates Mindat, and label info at the time was not good anyways.
