Doubly terminated Calcite twin (Cynthia Payne Coll.)

Item Description

Twinned calcite crystals with this exotic well-defined form are rare from this well-known quarry. The sharp twinning plane covers the entire top and sides of this beautiful, gem-like, lustrous, light golden-yellow rhomb. The stepped-growth faces add even more pizzazz to this outstanding 360-degree calcite. Essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of edge scuffing. Ex Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Valued by the former dealer at $495 and worth it.
