Ferberite, Quartz & Calcite

Item Description

A cute and aesthetic two-sided specimen from this famous mine with hidden surprises. The striking water-clear quartz points, to 2.8 cm, are preferentially coated on one side with two generations of calcite - tiny, sharp, jewel-like rhombs and sparkly drusy calcite. The calcites cover nearly all of the matrix, EXCEPT on the other side where the calcite coating did not entirely cover the splendent, metallic ferberite blades. Choice and deceptive combination material.
