A beautiful spray of gently curved, 2.7-cm-tall emerald curving up the face of these large, sharp calcites! The piece is very unusual, in its aesthetics, and makes for a very balanced miniature wiht incredibly bright color to it. the sharp form of the calcite contrasts starkly with the classic hexagonal beryl crystals in the middle. The emeralds are a rich and vibrant green, of high gemminess and brightness, and BETTER In PERSON!
