AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This exceptionally clear freeform of optical calcite captivates with its striking transparency and the fine, shimmering internal structures. The precisely cut, columnar form enhances the mineral's natural light refraction and makes the interior appear like floating feathers and delicate ice veins. Particularly impressive is the clearly visible double refraction – a characteristic feature of high-quality calcites, which, when looked through the crystal, creates a magical optical depth.

The gentle gleam of the polished surfaces, combined with the lightly iridescent inclusions, gives this piece a calm, almost ethereal aura and makes it both decorative and mineralogically appealing.

Optical calcite is traditionally associated with clarity and focus. It is said to help organize thoughts, find inner calm, and promote clear perception — a fitting complement to its optical purity.
