A striking, gorgeous, large, 11.0 cm, lustrous, translucent, honey-brown, doubly terminated calcite crystal set amongst a bed of smaller calcite crystals and a bit of matrix. Interestingly, some of the crystal faces are preferentially, heavily striated, adding further accent to this excellent specimen from recent finds from the Fengjiashan Mine, Daye, China.
