Description

Cabinet sized of a dozen cubic perovskite crystals, very lustrous and with the typical for the area lined faces. A few centimetric flattened crystals of antigorite, plus some minor magnetite crystals, appear throughout the specimen. The matrix hosts a calcite vein, which gives a dramatic contrast to the perovskite.
As perovskite was exposed through careful etching of the calcite, more crystals could be possibly exposed upon treatment. Large matrix specimen, they typically come as miniatures or smaller.

Former collection Bernardoni (Italy).
