13btcens ((CALCITE)), $15 MINIMUM BID, Verchniy Mine, Dalnegorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Russia, 5.5 x 3 x 2.2 cm, Miniature | |
Here is a water clear gemmy Calcite from Verchniy Mine in Russia. It is double terminated and undamaged except the main termination looks to have a cleaved tip. This looks quite like a natural face but I believe it is cleaved. The top half otherwise is water clear, gemmy, and flawless. The bottom have I believe has some tan slender Aragonite inclusions, which this location is known to have. I had to look at that cleave again. It is very difficult to tell that it is a cleave. Its more the form than the look of the face surface. |
