Description

If you would ask me for the three most prominent classic localities in Norway I would answer with: Kongsberg, Hardangervidda and Kjorholt - the so called "Amber-Calcites" are among the most beautiful and most exceptional calcites world-wide. The color is really fantastic, this is not just a smaple - it represents this famous discovery in the very best way. It is developed as floater, the glossy faces show wonderful details 360° and it is in perfect condition.
