Calcite Crystals - Height: 90 mm - Width: 80 mm- 559 g - (1)

This impressive specimen also comes from the renowned locality of Chenzhou, known for producing high-quality and aesthetic calcites. It is a striking example of the mineral calcite, composed of a group of robust, colorless to milky-white crystals with very good transparency and beautiful internal rainbow reflections. The dominant feature of the piece is the presence of large, perfectly developed crystals with typical scalenohedral to pseudo-hexagonal forms, giving the specimen a strong three-dimensional presence. The crystals exhibit a high luster and, in places, delicate growth lines on their faces that enhance their natural structure. Some areas are nearly transparent, allowing a view into the internal structure of the crystals and highlighting their clarity. The composition is very well balanced—the dominant central crystal is complemented by smaller, aesthetically arranged individuals that create a rich and full appearance. The overall impression is elegant, clean, and highly attractive to collectors.
