Striking large Calcite stalactite (Robert Nowakowski Coll.)

Item Description

A very dramatic large and stout calcite stalactite from the cave deposits of Wenshan. Circlets of striking larger sharp second generation translucent rhombs and the crowning "jewel" compound rhomb at the tip, all with satin lustre faces, dramatically enhance the outstanding 360-degree visual appeal of this outstanding, sculptural large stalactite composed of tightly intergrown smaller rhombs. The two clean repairs have minimal impact to the overall very high quality of this artistic large specimen from the Robert Nowakowski Collection # 196. The piece is otherwise, essentially pristine. A top quality, large stalactite from the locale. Valued $2000. Note extra cost to ship - it is big!
