The wonderful calcite finds at Durango produce crystals in two forms: scalenohedrons, and these flattened, often twinned crystals. Both forms show a gorgeous silky luster and fine transparency. This is a rather large plate of good crystals. As with most of these, there is damage here and there, but with the profusion of crystals they do not take much away from the visual appeal. 11.2 x 7.5 x 3.0 cm
