Calcite (Fishtail Twin)
Amazingly, perfectly centered above a wreath of smaller calcite crystals, stands this majestic, fishtail twin of lustrous and translucent, white calcite, 6.25 cm in height. I have not seen such a twinned calcite from Mexico before, beyond a thumbnail that I can recall. This is a very rare habit for calcite generally, and tends to come from Midwest locales, and a few other places - but not from here. The piece is sparkly overall, and just could not be composed better
