Item Description
There are literally thousands of localities in the world for Calcite, but some places stand out for their impressive crystallized examples. The famous old pieces from the Sokolovskoe Mine in Kazakhstan, are some of the most beautiful and fine quality examples of Calcite found in the last 30 years. This small cabinet specimen features a good sized, gorgeous, satiny, WATER CLEAR, golden-yellow color twinned rhombohedral group of Calcite sitting on a tiny bit of matrix. The piece is undamaged, as far as I can see with the naked eye. The Calcite is completely transparent and it is highlighted by the beautiful small modifying faces along the edges of the crystals. Valued at $1,800.
