Description

This is a super aesthetic cluster of excellent developed Calcite set on minor matrix. The Calcite is sharp edged, mirror bright and almost gemmy. So far I can see, the whole cluster is pristine. This fine piece dates to the early-mid 1990s and is of a style available today only in recycled collections.
