description: Amber colored incredibly glassy and lustrous partly transparent twinned scalenohedral crystal grouping of calcite 13.0 cm in height set aesthetically and beautifully upon a thin breccia matrix. Shows nicely all around. Very minimal and tiny micro-chipping present, for one of these Tennessee calcite specimens I think in outstanding condition. Shows nicely all around. This measures 13.0 x 10.0 x 10.0 cm overall. Gorgeous cabinet display piece from this important locality.
Size: 13.0 x 10.0 x 10.0 cm (cabinet)
