An exquisite 'small-cabinet' display mineral specimen featuring an isolated gem Calcite crystal on matrix from Chenzhou, Hunan Province, China.
The largest crystal is perfect and measures 4.0cm in length, sitting centrally on the matrix surrounded by an array of smaller crystals that completely cover the front face of the matrix. Throughout the specimen, each crystal displays gem-transparency and every face has a vitreous lustre. The large crystal 'glows' when backlit or under natural sunlight with rainbows dancing internally. The bifringent nature of the Calcite magnifies it's ability to refract the light it recieves, adding to the crystals 'glow'.
The specimen comes with old 'Mountain Sphere Minerals' label.
