Item Description

A cute combination piece with bowtie-like pink stilbites to 2 cm, on a single large, soft-looking, sparkling, white crystal of calcite. Except, its not calcite any more! It is now QUARTZ through and through, as the quartz replaced the original calcite. As a bonus, the calcite was twinned, so now what you have is a ghostly white, complete, 360 degree, quartz crystal that maintains the shape of the unusual spatula-like calcite twin. A stunning example of the replacement in its aesthetics and balance.
