Item Description

A really cool, large, blocky pseudohexagonal (cyclic twinned) crystal of Aragonite that has been replaced by beige-brown colored Dolomite. The piece is a complete "floater", as it's crystallized on all sides with no damage or point of attachment. This one is certainly larger than most I've seen over the years, and really fine quality. From the prestigious pseudomorph collection of Dr. Wouter van Tichelen of Belgium, and there is a painted collection number on the side from Bob Nowakowski (RN529).
