Item Description

A beautiful and aesthetic calcite specimen from Irai. A 5.8 cm, doubly terminated crystal has 3.3 cm crystal fabulously attached to its side. The colorless to light gray, translucent, frosted, scalenohedrons are jauntily attached to the crust of green basalt matrix. Very trivial termination wear is noted to both crystals, but is certainly not a detraction. Always desirable, very showy material. Much better in person.
