Item Description
Outstanding Calcite twin on a matrix on drusy Quartz and Calcite. This excellent Calcite is gemmy, lustrous, and twinned in two directions. It is 2 cm across and 2.2 cm tall. Please note that there is a small cleave along one of the back edges. Often you see these classic Wessels Calcite twins in clusters. It is very aesthetic to have one isolated and sitting up so beautifully on matrix which sparkles like sugar!
