Comment: A lovely spray of creamy colorless slightly translucen calcite crystals, the largest measuring to 2.7 cm in length, are set upon a blue celadonite coated matrix. Some of the calcite crystals are contacted on their terminations, naturally, and coated with the bluish-green celadonite. Some of the lesser crystals are cleaved. Sits nicely for display. Size: 4.7 x 8.0 x 5.4 cm. Quite attractive.

Minerals: Calcite (CaCO₃) Celadonite ( sea^-green, in allusion to its common color.)
