Item Description

Calcite scalenohedrons of this size, form and quality are VERY RARE from this mine, noted for the world's finest bornite crystals and excellent wire silver and betekhtinite specimens. This is an aesthetic cluster of glassy, translucent light straw-yellow to colorless with beautiful stepped-growth and etched faces dominated by the striking large spearpoint. The granular matrix is indicative of Dzhezkazgan material. Pink fluorescence. An outstanding, pristine and rare calcite. Every turn presents a differnet perspective.
