Item Description

An outstanding, very aesthetic, elongated, CABINET combination specimen from Santa Eulalia and the Dick Heck Collection. Brassy, blocky, etched and stacked pyrrhotite crystals are the foundation of this mounded piece. Fabulous, water-clear, faceted gem-like, colorless, cubooctahedral fluorite crystals to 1.6 cm are richly and attractively scattered about. Near the pyrrhotite crest are two clusters of splendent, stepped-growth, metallic-gray, galena crystals. And very interestingly, one side at the base is festooned with oxide-tinted quartz needles, while the other side has very few!! Really, very fine and showy combination material from this famous locale. Valued at $400. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
