Item Description
Beautiful and fascinating 360-degree scalenohedral calcite with quartz-like form from a limited 2020 find at this most obscure locale in Malaysia, - Gunung Keriang. Two upright large calcite crystals are dramatically, preferentially studded with perpendicular clusters of smaller calcite crystals. The glassy crystals are transparent to translucent with bright satin luster faces and the stepped-growth prism faces really enhance this striking piece. The light iron oxide tinting is a very pleasing accent to the colorless crystals. Ghostly white fluorescence. RARE and excellent calcite from the locale. This came in a single flat of material we got, apparently brought out by a geologist into the European market in early 2021. Fascinating locality, beautiful shape, and extra bonus as a fluorescent!
