Description

A sharp terminated calcite crystal, bottom is also healed - it is developed as floater. The faces show excellent luster, really on highest possible quality. The crystal is partly translucent - I tried to show this effect on my photos and showed luster on one face and transparency at an other. But both indicators are much better in person.
