Item Description

A rare, really cute and aesthetic, two-sided combination miniature from this mine. The sculptural quartz rib mostly to partially covered with juicy rich grape-purple fluorite colorless cuboctahedrons. The two sides look strikingly different. The fluorites on the sloping crest of the piece are covered with clusters of paper calcite rhombs. Very nifty! Fine material from the Chris Cowan Collection. Calcite is RARE from the Mex-Tex Mine.
