DT Calcite w/ Ilvaite inclusions (Cynthia Payne Coll.)

Item Description

An elegant and exotic calcite and ilvaite combination from Dal'negorsk. A striking doubly terminated, glassy, translucent, calcite scalenohedron aesthetically rests on a bed of ilvaite crystals. The exotic and rare aspect is the numerous ilvaite crystals that are included-in and embedded on the calcite! The calcite is very nearly pristine, with only very gentle termination rubbing. A rare and choice 360-degree combination from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection.
