Superb, flower-like rosettes, composed of diverging crystals of lustrous and translucent calcite, are aesthetically perched on massive, metallic galena. The largest rosette measures nearly 5 cm in length. It is a striking piece more reminiscent of Romanian material, than of Mexican. This specimen was on loaned exhibit in the University of Arizona Museum for over a decade until my purchase of this collection in 2008. Comes with custom lucite base already made for the specimen.
