A beautiful, butterfly-twin calcite crystal on a cabinet plate from the small, one-time find in the early 2000s from Ametista do Sul, Brazil. The 3.1 cm, gem-like, calcite crystal beautifully lies on 3-dimensional basalt matrix covered with light amber calcite rhombs and strikingly studded with sparkly, water-clear selenite needles and crystals to 2.7 cm. These have not been available since the find came out about 7 years ago.
