When a mineral display needs a true centerpiece, a clean calcite cluster on limestone this size answers the call.
Transparent calcite crystals cover a limestone matrix, and the piece is natural and pristine, with crystals that let light pass straight through them. It formed in a limestone cave and comes from China. At about 20 inches long and roughly 12 kilograms, it is a centerpiece for a living room, a gallery wall shelf, an office lobby or a serious collection, and the photos show it from the side, top and back so you can study it before you buy. Clear calcite is the mineral famous for double refraction, a neat feature to show guests. It suits a collector, a designer staging a space or anyone who wants one remarkable piece. This is the exact specimen shown.
The specimen is about 20 by 7.5 by 5.625 inches tall and weighs about 12.015 kilograms (26 lb 8 oz).
About Calcite
Calcite is calcium carbonate, the main mineral in limestone and marble, and it defines 3 on the Mohs scale. Clear calcite shows double refraction, making a line seen through it appear doubled, and it cleaves cleanly in three directions into rhombohedrons.
Stone Meaning: Calcite is traditionally associated with clarity and renewal.
