Item Description

An impressive and excellent large complex calcite rhomb from recent finds at Jalgaon. The very glassy, highly lustrous rhomb is gemmy, transparent/translucent and is dramatically accented by the waxy luster stepped-growth faces. The crystal is actually nearly colorless. The greenish-gray color is imparted by the underlying attached matrix, which includes green celadonite, a Mica Group species. Complete all-around, with 360-degree presence and essentially pristine, with only trivial rubbing and the noted basal periphery wear. The rhomb glows, when backlit. A choice large calcite from this renowned locale.
