Calcite

Unknown Owner
A beautiful complex calcite with stunning luster and transparency from France. These limpid calcites are from a relatively recent find. According to the field collector this area is only able to be collected during times of drought due to a river that rises above the elevation of the pockets during normal flows rendering them inaccessible. Many of these specimens display very complex morphologies and twinning.
