Item Description

These amazingly sculptural calcite helectites (cave formations) appear to defy gravity with their striking tangled growth patterns. The "arms" are composed of densely intergrown sparkly, tranlucent calcite rhombs. Two of the three arm tips are gently bruised/contacted, which is certainly only a very modest detraction to this artistic specimen from famed Santa Eulalia and the Charles Noll Collection.
