Item Description

A very aesthetic and uncommon calcite from this less well-known Austrian locale. Both of the dramatically opposed, sharp, translucent, gray scalenohedrons have very nifty brown interior phantoms. The phantoms show up much better on the more translucent side. A sculptural, nearly pristine, two-sided piece. A very gentle, small cleave is noted to the tip of the large crystal. Choice and rare material from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection.
