Item Description
V-twin calcites from the one-time finds around 2000 at the 884 Mine are among the most desirable of all Chinese calcites and this is an exceptional miniature. The striking, blocky tapered twin is very gemmy and is beautifully enhanced by the light hematite tinting. The modified trigonal terminations add much character to this pristine calcite. Calcites of this quality only come from recycled collections. Ex Mervyn Ford Collection and valued at $1500. BETTER IN PERSON!!!
