Datolite on Datolite (Cynthia Payne Coll.)

Item Description

A fine, very glassy, transparent to translucent, pretty mint-green, doubly terminated datolite crystal is aesthetically set on a starkly contrasting, two-tone Datolite crystal (that we first thought was calcite! Unusual!). The snow-white rind covers the pastel-green crystal. Tiny, sparkly, fluorapophyllite crystals richly cover the datolite! This is a classic old style speicmen from the famous mine here. The contacted back of the piece is out-of-sight. Colorful, uncommon and excellent material from the famous Bor Pit from the Cynthia Payne Collection. Valued $250
