Item Description

The piece features highly lustrous, "jewel"-like modified scalenhedra of GEM quality, colorless Calcite measuring up to 2.0 cm across sitting on golden-yellow Stellerite on host rock matrix. Only very minor damage, but the Calcites are really attractive up close. Ex Cynthia Payne Collection.
