Item Description

A lovely miniature display specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, gemmy, rich golden color compressed scalenohedral crystals of Calcite measuring up to 3.2 cm across sitting on matrix. The piece isn't 100% perfect, but it's still in great shape on the topmost portion of the crystals (the contacts are near the base where it was removed from the pocket), and these specimens seemed to have dried up quickly, so don't miss out on them while they're still available. Contemporary classic material from this well known discovery at Tieshan from several years ago.
