Description

LARGE GREEN CALCITE SPHERE
Chihuahua, Mexico
This large translucent to transparent, green Calcite sphere has been fashioned from a single block of Calcite. A light seafoam green; the Calcite reveals its interior beauty through a display of cleavage planes with rainbow reflections. Calcite, by nature, has perfect rhombohedral cleavage making it a challenge to cut and sculpt into a round sphere, let alone a large sphere. But a talented artisan was able to fashion the raw crystal into this fine 6 ½ inch diameter sphere.
