Item Description

An exceptionally well-composed and aesthetic combination from Cavnic. The three striking quartz crystals, to 3.6 cm, on the skyline look like canted smokestacks on an ocean liner! The undulating plate is covered with extremely sharp chalcopyrite crystals of two generations, to 1.6 cm. The smaller crystals have stunning variable neon iridescene, while the larger crystals are more muted with a brassy iridescence. Tiny quartz point sprays are a super accent. The BACK is a major surprise, as the chalcos have golden iridescence here. Outstanding combination material from this historic locale and the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
