Item Description

Seven, complex, colorless and translucent calcite rombs to 1.5 cm are aesthetically scattered on the sculptural matrix of hematite-included quartz crystals. This is a really nifty and cool pristine piece, as it is nearly a floater, having only one small point of attachment on the base. Showy and excellent combination material from this well-known Chinese locale, famous for gem sphalerite crystals. From a small 2011 find.
