Item Description
The basalt flows of Irai, Brazil have produced some outstanding amethyst and calcite combination specimens and this piece certainly qualifies. Two, clusters of lustrous, translucent, lightly frosted, 3-sided, calcite crystals are aesthetically set amongst extremely glassy, water-clear, light purple amethyst points. This dramatic piece is complete all-around and pristine and looks fabulous from either side. Striking, beautiful and rare material. 3-sided, trigonal, flat-topped calcite crsytals are rare and desirable from Irai. Valued at $950. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
