Item Description
Outstanding and rich combination of gemmy, bright yellow Ettringite crystals ringing a plate of wonderful Calcites. The Ettringites, which range up to .2 cm, have excellent gemminess, color, and luster. Their terminations are perfect hexagons with beveled edges. The fluorescent Calcites, which have minor bruising on some of the tips, have suberb luster and sharp form. A excellent and classic combination from famous Wessels.
