A fine cluster of sharp, gemmy Calcite crystals from the Wessels Mine. The luster is excellent, too. All the crystals have complex faces, and some even have beveled edges. The largest crystal, itself twinned, is gemmy and a full 3 cm along one dimension. The crystals have the classic deep-orange fluorescence exhibited by Wessels Calcites. Ex. Charlie Key stock.
