Item Description

A 8.0 cm crystal dominates this fascinating and sculptural 360-degree scalenohedral calcite crystal cluster with quartz-like from a limited 2020 find at this most obscure locale in Malaysia, - Gunung Keriang. The large crystal is preferentially studded with smaller crystals and highlighted by the gemmy, 3.5 cm offset calcite. The glassy crystals are transparent to translucent with bright satin luster faces. The preferential light iron oxide tinting is a very pleasing accent to the colorless crystals. Ghostly white fluorescence. Rare and excellent calcite from the locale. This came in a single flat of material we got, apparently brought out by a geologist into the European market in early 2021. Fascinating locality, beautiful shape, and extra bonus as a fluorescent.
