REMARKABLE!! This is a gemmy calcite crystal, doubly-terminated, with BOTH ENDS having grown around a smaller calcite crystal - one sideways, the other down into the middle of the larger crystal. We bought a few examples of this type of oddity from a pocket recently encountered at the Bor Pit. Each one is unique, and why this happened in this particular pocket is a mystery. 6.2 x 2.3 x 1.3cm
