This is a very cute, contrasting matrix specimen featuring a 2 cm-long, doubly-termianted emerald perched on crystallized calcite. The large calcite is also 2 cm across. The balance and colors contrast nicely. The piece is very dramatic for the price and can be displayed from any number of angles. It is very 3-dimensional. I do not think I could replace it today for the price!
