Item Description
A dramatic and very aesthetic calcite on fluorite combination specimen from this noted locale. The 4.7 cm, gemmy and lustrous, doubly terminated and twinned, amber calcite crystal has a striking phantom and is very jauntily set on the narrow, blocky, purple fluorite crystal. This is a near killer piece, with only the slightest of bruising to both ends of the calcite. Classic and highly desirable, older combination material from the famous Annabel Lee Mine. It displays well without aid. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection # 775.
