Item Description

A 7.5 cm, gemmy, doubly terminated, twinned, amber calcite crystal is strikingly set atop a dense slab of lustrous, massive, rubyjack sphalerite. This is an impressive and aesthetic large combination piece from this famed locale. The calcite is nearly pristine, with only very trivial termination and side wear bruising. The sculptural quality of this piece is fine. 1394 grams or 3 pounds.
