This is an aesthetic cluster of glassy, translucent light straw-yellow to colorless with beautiful stepped-growth and etched faces dominated by the striking large spearpoint. The granular matrix is indicative of Dzhezkazgan material. Pink fluorescence. An outstanding, pristine and rare calcite. Every turn presents a differnet perspective.
