Item Description
Striking, complex Hausmannite on a large, doubly-terminated Calcite crystal. Even though the Hausmannite is contacted on the back side, this might very well be one of the best of this size range that I have ever seen, as a combo piece. The form, luster, and sheer size (up to almost 2 cm on edge) of the Hausmannite are superb. The DT Calcite is mostly gemmy, and 3.8 cm long. Outstanding aesthetics.
