Gem Calcite xls (Cynthia Payne Coll.)

Item Description

A 2.4 cm, beautiful gem-like, faceted complex doubly terminated golden-yellow calcite rhomb enhanced with striking stepped-growth faces is aesthetically set on the undulating limestone matrix covered with a myriad of smaller gemmy rhombs. The large rhomb has a subtle twinned face on one side, adding pizzazz. Two sides have been sawed to enhance the outstanding display quality of this classic specimen. Ex Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. An older piece, as the quarry is now owned by the York Building Supply Company.
