Item Description
A beautiful and sharp, dark amber calcite rhomb from the 2009 Chinese find. These caused quite a stir at the 2009 Munich Show and the 2010 Tucson Show. The crystal is very glassy and limpid and rests on a thin crust of hematite. Complete all-around. The front has trivial bruising and the back a bit more. Highly representative of this find, where the locality in Hubei Province was not divulged for some time.
