This specimen exhibits some of the best attributes of Indian calcite. It is on a thin slice of basalt, it is twinned, and it is well formed with incredible transparency. GEMMY, in fact. In person, it has intense golden color and wonderful luster like glass - really the top quality you could ask for! It is 3-D and complete all around with only the most persnickety of minor wear on a few crystal edges. Most Indian calcites pale compared with the elegance and beauty of the specimen. It is also LARGE - measure it out, imagine its so gemmy you can look through most of it, and that it is so reflective inside it looks like you are gazing into mirrors!
