You want a unique Indian calcite??? This is as unique as it gets; a self standing rocket ship! From a pedestal of golden calcite around which grew a layer of colorless, drusy quartz, perches an angled, doubly terminated scalenohedron. The color is fascinating, with gemmy, transparent golden calcite accented by the overgrowth of dark brown-black calcite which the calcite crystal later developed on preferential faces. The calcite measures a full 8 cm from tip to tip and has good luster. This is all topped off by a cute accent: a colorless, doubly terminated, stilbite crystal. The stilbite is 1.5 cm across. Comes with custom base. Old specimen from the early 2000's.
