Item Description

A superlative mounded cluster of color-zoned, amber calcite crystals is very aesthetically set on L-shaped matrix. The glassy, translucent, complex rhombs are capped by the dominating large 5.0 cm crystal. The preferential striated crystals faces really add pizzazz to the overall character. The cluster is complete all-around and pristine and displays beautifully from several angles. The base and back have been sawed to enhance the display quality. Gorgeous material from recent Chinese finds. Valued at $750-900.
