An EXCELLENT and showy CABINET plate of lustrous, light amber calcite crystals on highly lustrous, glassy, gray dolomite rhombs from the famous Nanisivik Mine on Baffin Island, Canada. The dominating, 3.0 cm, compound, doubly terminated, golden-amber calcite crystal group really sets this piece off. Sparkly, micro chalcopyrite crystals are visible in the dolomite crystals. A CHOICE, pristine specimen from the Lewadny Collection. 10.5 x 7.3 x 3.0 cm
