Item Description
Three, gemmy, beautiful, sharp, blocky, rich dark amber calcite rhombs from the 2009 Chinese find. These caused quite a stir at the 2009 Munich Show and the 2010 Tucson Show. The crystals are very glassy and limpid and rest on a thin crust of hematite. The display face is pristine, except for the contact on the right side. An excellent and above average cluster from this find, where the locality in Hubei Province was not divulged for some time.
