DT Calcite xls (Payne Coll.)

Item Description

An impressive and most elegant dense stacked cluster of horizontal, very glassy, transparent to translucent, doubly terminated calcite crystals from this well-known Berbes locale. The crystals reach 5.7 cm and I really like the way the largest crystals are at the top. The bodies are colorless and most of the gemmy tips to the larger crystals are a beautifully accenting light amber. In super shape, overall. You can barely tell that two of the tips on the right side are gently cleaved or bruised. Very fine and aesthetic calcite from the Moscona Mine and the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Valued by former dealer at $895.
