Three beautiful water clear gemmy lustrous transparent prismatic calcite crystals, the largest measuring to 4.7 cm in length, are set in an aesthetic cluster measuring 6.5 x 5.7 x 5.2 cm in size overall. Complete all around 360 degrees. Very slight chipping is present on the top edge of the crystal at left; this not easily visible without looking closely.
