Item Description
A STRIKING cluster of twinned and untwinned calcite crystals from the recent find at the Daye Mine of China. The large upright crystal is twinned and is 4.3 cm. Many of the lustrous, water-clear beauties have a neat hematite tint to them and have MANY displayable views, as you can see. The contact along one edge of the large crystal is certainly not much of a detraction, as you can see. These are being considered an instant, contemporary classic.
