Item Description

A beautiful, sharp, blocky, rich 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. Complete all-around and pristine. A contact on either side has no damage, per se. An excellent specimen of this find, where the locality in Hubei Province was not divulged for some time.
