Description from the seller

This attractive calcite specimen features a beautifully rounded calcite ball elegantly positioned on a richly textured matrix that is also partially coated with fine calcite crystals. The central calcite sphere is warm orange, with smooth, well-defined curved faces that stand out firmly against the contrasting matrix. Adding further interest, a second calcite ball is present on the reverse side, giving the specimen depth and a pleasing sense of completeness. The overall composition is well-balanced and highly aesthetic, presenting well from multiple viewing angles.
