Item Description

A very nice representative display specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, gemmy, prismatic, colorless Quartz crystals with pale golden scalenohedra of Calcite on rather lustrous, cream Dolomite matrix. Good shape overall, and an attractive small cabinet sized piece. A good piece to add to a Chinese suite, even if it does host some common mineral species, because it's good quality and pretty aesthetic.
