Another stunning and lusterous example from the Berry materials mine. These calcites possess an inner light of white that shines in contrast to the amber colors of the primary crystal. I believe these specimens are grossly under appreciated. 2.2 x 2.0 x 1.3 inches. Crystal-Odyssey specimen. gemcrystals@aol.com
