8054 6hhmlar ((CALCITE pseudomorph after Calcite with TETRAHEDRITE)) $50 MINIMUM BID, Casapala Mine, Huarochiri Province, Lima Department, Peru, 5 x 6 x 6 cm, Miniature | |
Matrix is made up of crystals of Tetrahedrite. On the Tetrahedrite are large scalenohedral crystals of Calcite. These in turn are pseudomorph to Calcite and are hollow with Calcite crystals inside the hollow areas. These came out 10 to 15 years ago and are only available from collections. This one was part of my Peruvian collection for many years. ex Jim McEwen 02042 |
