Item Description

A beautiful and aesthetic miniature featuring five, major upright, transparent, glassy, lustrous and striated, amber-colored, twinned flattened calcite rhombs very jauntily set on a shard of matrix. The calcites are very nearly pristine, with only infinitesimal edgewear. Every turn presents an entirely different perspective. This is a fine, classic and showy Chinese calcite. Ex Marty Zinn Collection # 1706.
