A HUGE, fine twin crystal with a wingspan of 7.5 cm! Interestingly, you can see crystals of the other habit familiar from Durango on this same specimen. Though there is damage to the crystals around the twin, the focus is on the twin, and as far as these go, this is a super one - large, transparent, and with the beautiful bevels and silky luster that make these Rodeo calcites so impressive. Also, it is remarkable the way this one stands up in front of a bend in the matrix, creating a natural "display stand" for it! 15.3 x 10.1 x 8.9cm
