Item Description
A dramatic and unusual, CABINET calcite specimen from recent finds in China and the Jesse Fisher Collection. These highly glassy, translucent, pokerchip calcite crystals have unusual, "Mercedes star", banded inclusions of iron oxides. The striking large pokerchip is 5.0 cm across. Trivial edgewear on the larger crystal and on a small crystal are noted, but are very modest detractions to this impressive Chinese calcite. Ex Jesse Fisher Collection. Valued at $500-750
