Dolomite (''Floater'' Group) with Quartz

Item Description

A large blocky compound group of rhombic Dolomite creates this sculptural 360-degree cluster from the famous Shangbao Mine. The pastel-pink rhombs have fine porcelaneous lustre and the scattered embedded quartz points are nifty accessories. It's hard to tell where the attachment is on this fine example, making it a "floater" specimen, since it's crystallized on all sides. Specimens of this rare Dolomite and Quartz combination, without Fluorite, came out in the mid-2000s. Seldom on the market today. Priced at $950 in the inventory.
