Item Description
These bizarre and beautiful Wenshan calcites are like none other from anywhere else, with a distinctive biomorphic form. This striking cluster, with fine amber color and amazing, hoppered triangular form, reminds me of a coral head or a strange looks psychedelic flower with petals at the base. The coral head is nearly pristine, with only very trivial edge brusing on one spot. Dramatic, 360-degree visual appeal and very rare in this form from Wenshan.
