Item Description
A wonderful thumbnail calcite from the short-lived find around 2000 from Durango. The tabular beauty has textbook butterfly-twinning complimented by the optical clarity and waxy luster. You can see the small crystals on the back of the piece. Moderate ghostly white fluorescence. Very choice and classic material from this small find.
