This is the best and I believe the last specimen of the Guerrero lot I bought last summer a 15 months ago. I was going to take it to Tucson this year but added it to the other large cabinet specimens for this weeks auction. No Damage with stubby terminated Quartz covered with light pink Rhodochrosite and clusters of small scalenohedral crystals of Calcite. There is one 4.5 cm large Scalenohedral crystal of Calcite, undamaged, completely covered by the small secondary scalenohedral crystals of Calcite and then the small light pink Rhodochrosite. This is old material Ed had bought many years ago. ex Ed Laird collection. |
