Item Description
Beautiful, sharp, compressed to blocky scalenohedral, GEMMY Calcite crystals from the 2009 find. The crystals are lustrous and elegant in form, and although the larger crystal is not 100% perfect, the smaller crystal is in great shape, save a few tiy nicks. The piece has minor iron or manganese on he base. A good representative specimen of this find, where the locality in Hubei Province was not divulged for some time.
