Item Description
A beautiful, 6.7 cm, doubly terminated, gemmy and lustrous, amber calcite crystal with a nifty "tail" and sharp interior phantom is adorably set on the very sculptural matrix of glassy dolomite rhombs on sulfide matrix. The complex termination and stepped-growth prism faces of the calcite add pizzazz. The rich sprinkling of sharp, lustrous, golden chalcopyrite sphenoids is a super accent to this very fine, aesthetic and pristine combination from the famous Sweetwater Mine. Ex Dr. Gary Hansen dealer stock and dates to the 1970s to early 1980s. Classic material.
