Item Description

Stunning, water-clear, gem, super glassy terminations above translucent calcite on this dramatic trio of intergrown scalenohedrons from Dal'negorsk. The piece looks great from either side. Nearly pristine, you can barely tell, that the back of the large crystal tip is very gently cleaved. Dal'negorsk, like Tsumeb is renowned for quality and diversity of calcites. Choice material from the 1990s or early 2000s finds. Neon-orange fluoresence. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! The supreme glassiness made photography very difficult.
