Item Description
Irai calcites with this striking rhomohedral form and rich color are uncommon. The lustrous, translucent, doubly terminated flatttened rhomb has rich golden-amber color and nifty dense stepped-growth faces. The gemmy tip really adds pizzazz, as does the starkly contrasting white underlying matrix. Essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of edge wear on a corner. Yellowish ghostly-white fluorescence. Choice and uncommon Irai calcite from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
