Item Description

Rare for the locale, blocky, colorless, gem calcite rhombs are richly and aesthetically clustered with sprays of lustrous, silver-metallic, stibnite blades on the sculptural gossan matrix. The stibnites reach 5.2 cm and the calcites 1.2 cm. The calcites are essentially pristine and the noted bruised and contacted stibnites are certainly only a modest detraction to this showy combination with rare style calcite crystals. Choice material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
