Item Description

A spectacular and spooky pair of sharp, blocky calcite crystals from Hunan Province. The very glassy, transparent to translucent, gray rhombs have striking, large, rust-brown to gray-brown phantoms. Portions of the crystals GLOW with neon-orange fluorescence, while other portions hardly fluoresce at all! Very weird. The crystals are pristine, except for the cleaved bases.
