Item Description

This piece is from a fairly recent find at Chenzhou featuring, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, pseudo-pyritohedral, very light straw colored crystals on Quartz matrix. The specimen is in great shape overall, and displays very well. The largest crystal measures 1.2 cm across, and would certainly make a great addition to a worldwide Calcite suite, or a collection of Chinese minerals. I have not seen many of these around, and this is one of the better pieces I have offered in the auctions in while.
