Dimensions: 6 x 5.3 x 2.3cm Location: Varatec Mine, Baiut, Maramures, Romania. Pocket found in 2013, on the rear ventilation, 300 meters away. (Cavnic main mine) Original and strikingly aesthetic, the combination of very luminous yellow calcites and slightly amethysated quartz offers a very nice contrast. An excellent piece to keep in your collection, the beautiful classics from the Cavnic deposits (this mine is a few kilometers from the main Cavnic mine)) becoming extremely rare on the market. Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen. The mineral is not stuck to the base (soft putty).
