What you are looking at is the intergrown tips two stalactites of calcite upon which have grown a burst of big, translucent crystals of calcite! These crystals are in pristine condition, and the specimen can be displayed from all sides! The crystals are quite large, to 4 cm in length, and beautifully sharp. Even if this were just a specimen of calcite crystals, it would be excellent - but as a unique stalactite specimen, it is even better! WOW! 9.8 x 9.2 x 6.4cm
