A large, conjoined golden-yellow calcite crystal balanced on a short, frosted white chalcedony stalactite, from Jalgaon. The calcite is transparent with finely terminated faces, and the pale stalactite below acts as a natural pedestal.
Calcite on chalcedony stalactites records two stages of growth in the basalt cavity: first the dripping silica that formed the stalactite, then the calcite that crystallized on it later. That sequence makes these pieces both attractive and interesting to study.
Natural and untreated, this golden calcite on chalcedony is a tidy small-cabinet specimen.
