"Shark Fin" Calcite (Ref: FB21-SHARK)

Dehou Township, Wenshan City, Yunnan, China
140mm x 185mm x 47mm
This large calcite crystal is called "The Shark Fin" for obvious reasons. The calcite has a really unusual form. It is very clear with a slightly yellow tint. The surface is really interesting because it has long striations running vertically which give it a somewhat gelatinous appearance.
