Item Description
A sharp, translucent, colorless, well-formed, striated rhombohedron of Calcite with a selective deposition of sparkling, metallic, micro Pyrite. The crystal is incomplete on the back, and a little rough in spots, but still a good sized (4 inch) Calcite with a beautiful dual tone appearance created by the Pyrite. These pieces came out a few years ago, and it seems that there is not much available on the market, so if you missed out on them, here's your chance to get one.
