Item Description
A gorgeous, GEM-LIKE, butterfly-twin calcite crystal from the small, ONE-TIME time in the early 2000s from Ametista do Sul, Brazil. The water-clear calcite crystal beautifully lies on a sliver of basalt covered with sparkly, tiny quartz crystals. Calcites from this find are RARELY on the market and even RARER in this quality! This rivals the best English twins in gemminess. Small, but ever so gemmy and well-formed. A must for the species or locality collector. valued $500-750. these have not been available since the find came out about 7 years ago
