Huge Calcite (old) ex Mullane Coll.

Item Description

An OLD-TIME, CLASSIC, LARGE CABINET calcite crystal cluster from the famous old lead-zinc mines at Shullsburg, Wisconsin. This showy, two-sided giant consists of translucent, highly lustrous and striated, complex, light amber rhombs. It is complete all-around and has a thin spine of attachment on one side and at the base. The STRIKING, large, centrally located rhomb is 7.1 cm. Seldom can you expect to see a calcite of this size, let alone in good shape, from this classic US mining district! RARE on the market in this size and quality, as you would expect. The very trivial scattered bruising, for such a large piece is certainly not detracting, or is in fact, barely noticeable. Ex Mullane Collection. Value?? MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
