Item Description
Excellent, gemmy Wessels Calcite that is an impressive 5.2 cm across. That is amazing for a single one of these crystals. Gemmy, lustrous, and sharp, the aesthetics are excellent. There is some mangenese oxides on the surface that add nice contrast. The base is cleaved, and provides a good stable way to display the crystal. Mild, orange-red fluorescence.
