Gem Calcite (rare style) ex Obodda

Item Description

A fascinating, highly unusual calcite from the famous mines at Dalnegorsk. The very sharp, terminated 6-sided crystal is oddly flattened on one side! The very glassy, limpid colorless crystal has satin lustre faces. The dramatic, rich, subtle interior crosshatching and a veiled area below the termination adds surreal visual appeal to this outstanding and pristine 360-degree cutie. Neon-orange fluorescence. Dalnegorsk, like Tsumeb, is renowned for calcite diversity and quality, and this is an exceptional rare style from the early 1990s to 2000s finds. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. A MUST for the species or locality collector!
