Item Description
Two, sharp, blocky, calcite rhombs have been pseudomorphed by hematite on this showy, excellent and rare pseudo from an obscure German locale. The back of the piece reveals the partial pseudomorphing of the calcite by the hematite. Nifty. Specimens of any species are very uncommon from this locale and are seldom on the market. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality.
