Item Description
Calcite from the Novotroitskiy Quarry of the Ukraine is rarely on the market. A highly gemmy and lustrous, vivid, golden-amber, triangular calcite rhomb has two calcite "wings". These lighter colored calcite crystals are twinned. The color and luster of this piece are unreal, it looks like the best golden amber. Infinitesimal edge wear is certainly not a detraction. Highly unusual, ghostly yellowish-white fluorescence. Comes with a Rocksmiths label.
