Another piece from obviously the same pocket as the above, this is to me one of the most unprecedented specimens in the collection for the aesthetics and the oddity of the combo. The calcite is almost an inch across, sharp, and very translucent. It has a contact on the left edge of the rhomb, that is detracting a bit, but the price is adjusted accordingly. The brucite is waxy-lustrous, and superb on its own merits. Again, I think the contrast between the sharp rhomb and the curvy brucite really adds visual impact and get this piece noticed!
