Description

Fantastic, truly high quality piece of calcite crystal on quartz points matrix! The crystal is cream beige in color, with intense silky luster, which is actually strong wet luster on micro faces! The crystal form is a hexagonal tabular crystal which consists of scalenohedra! On some faces, yellow dolomite crystals give color! The fine crystal is beded on a relief surface of quartz points flowers with high gemminess that offer light and contrast to the calcite! The specimen is 360 degrees complete and visually pristine. It comes from an old German collection.
