Item Description

A 2 mm thick crust of olive-green mottramite coats and superlatively accents this amazingly sculptural, dense parallel-growth large cluster of sharp, glassy, translucent, calcite rhombs. A striking mounded piece, that looks great from multiple angles. It resembles an M.C. Escher painting. Natural Modern Art. The noted perphery wear and one spot of bruising have negligible impact to the very high quality of this very fine and classic combination from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Valued at $950.
