A superb specimen from the Verchniy Mine at Dalnegorsk. A beautiful and pristine, 6.0 cm, doubly terminated, transparent to translucent, glassy calcite crystal is beautifully set upright on quartz-rich matrix covered with a multitude of smaller calcite crystals. The basal termination has a striking sawtooth pattern. This gem-like calcite crystal is complete-all-around. Ex. Karl Warning Collection and purchased from Russian dealer Yuri Pavel in 2006 at the Denver Show.
