Description: Calcite
Fuzichong Mine, Cenxi Co., Wuzhou Prefecture, Guangxi Zhuang A.R., China
99 x 85 x 44 mm
A very aesthetic poker-chip Calcite crystal, measuring 47 x 36 x 26 mm, showing a clear core and sharply-defined white caps is perched on contrasting matrix richly covered on both sides by gemmy, flattened Calcites to 8 mm. These Calcite crystals appear pseudo hexagonal, but are actually flattened rhombohedrons stacked on top of one another. This beautiful specimen shows nice color and contrast. A very aesthetic and unique specimen with no damage.
