An intricate, complex, twinned calcite crystal that is nearly a complete floater, with just a small attachment in the bottom -rear. The symmetry and patterning, in person, is really mesmerizing and this is unlike anything I have yet seen from Dalnegorsk! MUCH BETTER In PERSON. I know it LOOKS curvy and cockeyed atop, but that is a visual illusion of the twinning - in person you can see it is pristine and sharply terminated all around, with a bit of included matrix near the base casting shadows from within.
