Item Description

A most unusual and lovely specimen of stacked and curved rhombohedral crystals of tan colored, calcite, to 4 cm across. The unusual stalctitic growth is at both ends, thus resulting in a double termination. Yes, its just calcite, but what a special and hauntingly beautiful calcite it is. Old material from the 1980s or 1990s.
