Description

Transparent cube of calcite with very beautiful textures on the edges. The calcite is very transparent and shows the Iceland Spar effect (the refraction of light in the calcite creates a double image). The calcite also includes a second, slightly larger piece that is not as transparent. The two pieces come from an old collection and were acquired in 1977. The old collection label is included.
