Description

Good calcite pieces from lavrion are not common and this is something special! This piece used to be cast after smithsonite. They normally clean the pieces so, this calcite piece would have been dissolved. However, this survived! The piece is has sharp crystals with top luster and an overall exotic plant fomr! The cast is translucent and gives a pleasant color with some light! The individual crystal form is also lined when you add some addition light! The luster is fantastic, again and there is no damage!
