A top-quality gemmy calcite from the Savda quarries of Jalgaon district, terminated on all sides so it displays from any angle. The multi-dimensional crystals show strong transparency, rich natural color and a bright vitreous luster across their curved faces.

Savda, in the Deccan Traps of northern Maharashtra, has produced some of the finest calcite in India. Fully terminated pieces like this one, with no obvious point of attachment and well-formed faces all around, are much harder to find than crystals on matrix.

A sculptural, well-crystallized calcite for a cabinet or a stand of its own.
