C275 - Calcite on Chalcedony sold
Aurora Mine, Charcas, San Luis Potosi, Mexico
Miniature - 4.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm
Transparent Calcite crystals atop pink Chalcedony. It's a stunning old specimen, however there is a cleave on the largest Calcite and I have priced it accordingly. The contrast between the transparent Calcite and the glow of the pink Chalcedony is very attractive.
