Item Description
A striking, LARGE CABINET, plate of highly lustrous, translucent, off-white hemimorphite crystals from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia; and then the Consie Prince Collection (Houston, TX). The unusual, elongated crystal cluster aggregates, to 3.3 cm, have rounded, crenellated terminations. Essentially pristine, only a very modest amount of periphery wear is noted. Uncommonly fine, older material from this noted locale, this fat and robust style is highly valued. LARGE PLATES OF THIS QUALITY ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMMON. Valued $1200-1500
