Item Description
A beautiful, gem-like, complete all-around, calcite scalenohedron from the famous Verchniy Mine at Dal'negorsk. The super-lustrous crystal has a striking, water-clear, complex termination. It is LIKE A JEWEL! Very nearly pristine, a trivial bit of termination wear is on the back of the piece. This is actually a near floater, with only a small contact point on the base. Unusual in such quality and form, combined. A classic and very showy, gemmy Dal'negorsk calcite. Trust out text here, and get the gist from the photos...it is MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! Valued at $750
