Yet another wonderful calcite from Dalnegorsk - we got an amazing variety from our Russian connection whom we met up with before the Tucson show. This crystal is wonderfully sharp and gemmy, and stands up off a natural base of smaller crystals. Very difficult to photograph, and thus much finer and prettier in person! 7.2 x 5.8 x 4.7cm
