Item Description
A rare, showy and unusual large pseudomorph combination from this famous mine and the Art Soregaroli Collection. Sparkly, colorless calcite rhomb coat all sides of the sculptural quartz matrix, that looks like curtain folds from the front. The glassy, 4.5 cm, terminated quartz point is a super accent. The very nifty RARITY on the back is the 7.2 cm hollow epimorph of the calcite-coated quartz pseudomorphing the tabular gypsum crystal! Very rare and desirable from this noted locale. A MUST for the pseudomorph or locality collector.
