On a sliver of limestone matrix is a gemmy, lustrous, doubly-terminated and twinned calcite crystal. The transparency and rich glassy luster is outstanding! It is complete all around except for one TINY ding on the left edge of the crystal that is rotated aeway from display anyhow. The gemminess on this crystal, for the size, is astonishing; and it is brilliant in a case. My favorite single crystal of the lot here!
