Calcite

Item Description

A striking and impressive, LARGE CABINET, plate of large, translucent, lustrous, and well-striated, light grayish-brown, calcite scalenohedrons very aesthetically set on a thin crust of starkly contrasting mordenite from recent finds at Jalgaon. All of the calcites are doubly terminated or are trying to be doubly terminated. The imposing large, DT, crystal is 12.6 cm long. A bit of trivial termination and edgewear is noted, but certainly nothing to detraction. New finds from Jalgaon are continuely amazing and this is a very find example. for some reason, scalenohedral "normal" calcites are rare from india!
