Wenshan Mine, Wenshan Co. Wenshan Autonomous Prefecture Yunnan, China
Condition
No recorded repairs
An excellent Calcite and so typical of the habit frequently seen from the Wenshan mine in Yunnan, China. Colourless and almost transparent, sharp pyramidal crystals form a stalactitic, sceptre-like specimen, with small 2 to 4 mm crystals covering the stem and large crystals to 2.5 cm forming the flower-like head. A terrific specimen from this interesting locality.
