The centerpiece calcite is outstanding along its front edge, which shows superb luster and excellent gemminess and also marks the main twinning plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the calcite apart are two wing-like extensions at opposite ends of that plane, which appear to be twins following a much less common twinning law. Twinned calcite is studied for exactly this kind of geometry, and seeing two such wings developed on one crystal is unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apophyllite completes the composition, adding a second crystal habit beside the calcite. At over 2 kg, this is a heavy, substantial cabinet specimen from Jalgaon, collected in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Superb Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40694433611964,"sku":"B 4632","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1084\/7748\/products\/pseudo-calcite-with-apophyllite-natural-mineral-specimen-b-4632-calcite-superb-minerals-485499.jpg?v=1630481284","url":"https:\/\/www.superbminerals.us\/products\/twinned-calcite-with-apophyllite-jalgaon-india-b-4632","provider":"Superb Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
