Item Description
RARE, fantastically flattened calcite from Dalnegorsk. The sharply terminated very glassy, limpid colorless crystal has satin lustre faces enhanced by the tapered edges. It looks like a sword! The interior crosshatching adds striking visual appeal to this pristine beauty. Neon-orange fluorescence. Dalnegorsk, like Tsumeb, is renowned for calcite diversity and quality, and this is an exceptional rare style from the early 1990s to 2000s finds. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. A MUST for the species or locality collector!
