Item Description

A beautiful, 5.0 cm, gem, twinned, light amber calcite scalenohedron proudly points skyward from the CABINET plate of rubyjack sphalerite on this dramatic and classic combination specimen from Elmwood. Lustrous barite blades are a very nice additional accent. The calcite is essentially pristine, with only the most infinitesimal termination wear. Aesthetic material from this famed locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection and dates to the 1980s finds. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
