Item Description

We have never seen a very well-formed calcite "ball" from the famous basalt deposits are Irai. The 3.5 cm, pristine ball, with a nifty side car is adorably perched on the thin basalt crust covered with white clay. The pretty tan, translucent calcite has a frosted, light clay coating. Striking, excellent and rare calcite from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Value??
