Item Description
A fascinating calcite from the Leiping Mine. Each of the glassy, translucent, blocky, calcite rhombs has a striking, oriented, 3-armed yellow "star" in the interior! A very showy, excellent and unusual specimen from this locale. Pristine, except for trivial periphery wear. Modest orange fluorescence.
