Calcite from Krushev dol Mine, Smolyan Province, Bulgaria

A lovely small cabinet piece highlighted by two pristine pink calcites crossing each other in opposite directions. They sit on a matrix surrounded by white prismatic quartz crystals and lustrous black sphalerite. The calcites have a soft glow as light passes through them. This specimen has wonderful balance and aesthetics.
