This magnificent, large, gem clear, pristine, golden-amber, interpenetrating twinned calcite crystal comes on just a tad of matrix from Rudny, Kazakhstan. It is more gemmy in person. This beautiful, robust and juicy calcite twin is complete all-around and has the best golden color and transparency characteristic of this locality. One of the best examples from this historic finds of the early 1990s. These calcites are now only available from old collections.
