DT Calcite on Prehnite w/ Laumontite (classic locale)

Item Description

A classic and aesthetic calcite combination from the famous trap rock quarries at Paterson. An impresssive 4.7 cm doubly terminated complex scalenohedron is dramatically set upright on the sculptural combination matrix. The light straw-yellow translucent calcite with satin lustre faces is nicely accented with some stepped-growth faces. Lustrous, translucent, light mint-green prehnites intermixed with small calcite rhombs cover the front of the basalt matrix and the back is littered with sprays of fibrous white laumontite. The calcite is complete all-around and essentially pristine. An excellent Paterson calcite combination.
