Calcite ("flower")

Item Description

China has produced a plethora of superb and unique Calcite specimens in recent years, and the pieces from Wenshan are no exception. This specimen is a beautiful display piece showing a "flower" or "tree" shape with white / colorless, gemmy, sharp, somewhat lustrous, scalenohedral crystals in a burst-like growth. This piece is in great shape overall with only minor damage, and truly displays well from all sides. A wonderful Calcite specimen to add to any Chinese suite or Calcite collection.
