Item Description
A striking and beautiful, VERY RARE, thumbnail of two, V-twinned, butterfly calcite crystals aesthetically perched on smaller calcites from an uncommon Nevada locality in the Carlin District. There is a third V-twin at the base. This stunning cutie looks just like the sought-after calcites from the famous finds at the 884 Mine in China about 10 years ago. Both primary twins are pristine. Excellent and very rare Nevada calcite.
