On a matrix of ivory colored barite, is a huge, intensely colored, cognac, gemmy, twinned and doubly terminated, calcite crystal. For such a large crystal, this specimen is remarkably free of damage except for just the slightest touch of wear on the left wing. Wow! In person, this is one of the most dramatic of the large twins, especially for the price range
