Calcite on Brucite
WOW! This is one of my favorite pieces in the whole update, for the sheer crazy geometry of it and the unique combination. First of all, the blue brucite is good on its own merit. Turn the piece upside down and you have a good brucite on matrix...and lustrous blue is very rare, in any case, for the species. I think its worth this price JUST FOR the brucite, in other words. The color contrasts to the calcite, obviously. However, the stark physical contrast of the gemmy, geometric, sharp calcite rhomb atop is just even more striking, and as a Wessels calcite specimen, it is an unusual and dramatic piece. The calcite rhomb is nearly complete up on its pedestal, with just a small contacted lower area in back and a few trivial dings. It is gemmy, and complete, otherwise all around including the sides.
