Another unique calcite specimen from the famed mines at Dal'negorsk, this one from the Bor Pit. A striking, water-clear, 1.5 cm, sharp, hexagonal calcite crystal is perched, like a hat, on a colorless, glassy calcite scalenohedron. The scalenohedron is set on a flat, prismatic, calcite crystal, that has smaller calcites growing both upward and downward. A stunning, nearly pristine calcite varietal from Dal'negorsk. Ex. Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
