Item Description
A beautiful, blocky, gemmy and juicy, rich golden 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. Complete all-around, the contact is on the bottom. A trivial bit of bruising is noted, but is certainly nothing to detraction. An excellent and above average specimen of this find, where the locality in Hubei Province was not divulged for some time.
