Calcite

These came out about 10 years ago. Most had a deep honey color, making them desireable, but finding any with no damage was very difficult. I must admit I had not seen a pale one like this piece. The primary crystal is a complete gem measuring 4.3cm. It anchors a series of over a half dozen smaller gem crystals. Not a speck of damage. A rare find.
