Item Description

A striking, excellent and older combination specimen from this extinct Mumbai area quarry. The facet-like, gem calcite crystal is water-clear to translucent and is doubly terminated. The nifty "porch" hosts another calcite crystal plus bladed, light olive-green prehnite balls, some coated with tan, bladed gyrolite. Very fine, pristine and uncommon combination material from the Miller Calcite Collection # 1021. Material of this quality dates to the 1970s or 80s. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
