A beautiful pair of gemmy, twinned Calcites, each in the shape of a triangular mainsail. The Calcites have excellent luster and the classic red fluorescence seen from Wessels Calcites. The largest crystal is 4 cm tall, and the pair sits on a matrix of white, crystallized Calcite. Both types of Calcites have some Hematite dusting, which adds attractive contrast to the crystals. Ex. Charlie Key stock.
