Calcite (Shimen Mine) Ex. Joel Vicary NATIVE COPPER

NATIVE COPPER

On the "showtime" side of the specimen the pyrite and galena crystals are very well formed and sizeable enough to create a beautiful contrast against the purple tinged fluorite crystals

We are calling this piece "Key Lime Pie" because it strongly resembles a slice of pie when viewed from a certain angle (2nd Picture) - Densely packed lime green fluorite with stepped formations feature great luster and clarity

What's also exceptional is how large the plate is - Not often do you find a fluorite plate of this size and to top it off - You can put light through the back of it (as pictured) to really make it glow
