Item Description
A rare, striking and sculptural pseudomorph combination from this famous locale. Oxide-tinted drusy quartz has pseudomorphed prismatic danburite crystals (epimorphs). Several of these are broken, revealing the hollow interiors! The sharp isolated pseudo is 2.8 cm long. A later overgrowth of colorless dogtooth calcite crystals (not quartz) adds pizzazz. Choice and rare material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Ex Francis and Jean Marshall Collection of San Francisco, according to his label. A MUST for the pseudomorph or locality collector.
