Just a sliver of limestone acts as the matrix for this lovely cognac colored, gemmy, twinned, doubly-terminated calcite specimen. I particularly like the forked appearance of the calcite. Pristine in every way and glittering with natural luster, this is one of my favorites of the size and price range!
