Optical Calcite #5 from Brazil Polished 161g

Description

161g Polished Clear Optical Calcite from Brazil

We were able to procure a few new specimens in our never ending search for Optical Calcites when we found this Optical Calcite Crystal from Mato Grosso do Sol, Brazil that was ground and polished in Brazil. We have sold many Optical Calcite Crystals over the years from Mexico, Germany, Madagascar and Brazil. The most popular so far have been the Brazilian crystals that are polished with beveled edges. These are the nicest specimens we were able to find. We have seen over the past few years that all the specimens coming from Brazil tend to have edge chips and surface scratching. Like most minerals, the earlier versions were the most pristine.

This piece weighs 5.6 oz or 0.35 lbs (161g) and measures 1.8 x 1.7 x 1 inches (4.6 x 4.3 x 2.7 cm) across the flats
