Item Description
A 4.4 cm, lustrous and translucent, grayish-green, calcite scalenohedron preferentially coated with sparkly quartz is the focal point of this striking CABINET specimen from recent Jalgaon finds. The calcite is very aesthetically set in a curved vug completely lined with sparkling, knobby aggregates of gray to colorless quartz crystals. Excellent, pristine and uncommon combination material from Jalgaon. A very fine specimen from the basalt flows of India. MUCH better in person.
