Calcite (ex Cynthia Payne Collection)

Item Description

This showy and highly aesthetic specimen of the classic "curved" rhombohedral Calcites from Turt is one of the best in its size that I've seen. The crystals are razor sharp, with a pearly somewhat waxy luster and good internal translucency which are associated with small golden Siderites at the base. The piece displays beautifully as you can see from the photos, and the main Calcite group at the top is virtually undamaged and measures 3.5 cm across. Ex Cynthia Payne Collection, and valued at $800 for quality and aesthetics.
