There have been tens of thousands of good to superb calcites from the basaltic flows in this region of Brazil. However, this doubly terminated, frosted and colorless, calcite crystal is so aesthetically perched on matrix, it boggles the mind. The crystal reaches 5.5cm in length and is PERFECT, as well as PERFECTLY BALANCED, on a natural pedestal. Talk about aesthetics! 6 x 5.9 x 4.9 cm
