A very aesthetic and exceptional dolomite specimen from the Morro Velho Mine of Brazil. A beautiful rosette of glassy, translucent, gray, flattened dolomite rhombs is set on smaller dolomite crystals and all are set on a glassy, transparent quartz crystal. Light brown pyrrhotite plates richly dust and accent the dolomite crystals. The little pyrrhotite "emblem" on the lower right is 8 mm. This is a very fine, complete-all-around specimen that is essentially pristine. Ex. Ed David Collection.
