Item Description
A stunning and sculptural large 360-degree cluster of calcite spikes from the famous Sweetwater Mine of Missouri. Striking chalcopyrite edge phantoms dramatically highlight each of the lustrous, glassy, transparent to translucent grayish scalenohedrons. The earlier generation of calcite is coated with chalcopyrite, then a second generation of clear calcite overgrows the crystals with dramatic effect. The chalcopyrite has a yellow glow, when the spikes are back lit. Complete all-around and in great shape considering the size of the piece. The tip of the largest spike is gently cleaved. Termination bruising to three of the lower side car spikes plus out-of-sight contacting on one of the three sides are noted. These certainly have only minimal impact to the overall superb quality of this impressive large specimen. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection and acquired in 1996.
