Item Description
An interesting, very showy and uncommon pseudomorph from recent finds at the Shangbao Mine of China. Sparkly, drusy quartz has pseudomorphed a large, sharp, calcite scalenohedron on this excellent, damage-free specimen. The large pseudomorph is 9.5 cm and is hollow for the entire length! Fascinating. Furthermore, the drusy quartz-covered base is sea-green fluorite.
