Item Description

A classic and aesthetic CABINET specimen of large, interpenetrating dolomite rhombohedrans from the famous Azcarate Quarry at Eugui, Spain. The rhombs are highly lustrous and translucent and the dramatic dominating rhomb at the peak is 6.1 cm on the diagonal. Most of the rhombs have very well defined gray phantom zonation. The large rhomb is complete all-around and pristine, with only a trivial bit of edgewear and periphery wear noted elsewhere on the frontal display view. Choice larger material from this noted European locale.
