Calcite
specimen number:
1113591
location:
Mashamba West Mine, Kolwezi, Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo
description: Absolutely gorgeous partly gemmy lustrous deep pink scalenohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 2.5 cm in length aesthetic over the front side of an 8.0 x 6.0 x 3.0 cm matrix. This has great luster translucency and color, the crystals are large for these spake calcite specimens. In very fine condition with only minimal chipping along the upper left edge of the matrix, this does not effect all of the prominent crystals that are present. I think in outstanding condition.
