Item Description
Sulfide phantoms are clearly evident in this very aesthetic cluster of glassy, transparent to translucent calcite scalenohedrons from the famous Brushy Creek Mine. The crystals are a light gray. The back of the piece has embedded chalcopyrite and marcasite. Nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of bruising. Calcites of this style are uncommon from here. Ex Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection. The former dealer label says the Sweetwater Mine, but this incorrect.
