DT Calcite twin

Item Description

Gallatin County is well-known for honey-colored and translucent calcites, and also as a tough and remote place to collect. Most pieces are big - the locale usually produces larger calcite crystals of double this size and above. This is a very aesthetic smaller example of a doubly terminated, twinned crystal showing excellent translucency and sharpness of form. It is adorably set on a plate of smaller calcites. The lower tip of the calcite is contacted, but has no damage, per se. Very choice material.
