OKI-215 Gyrolite on and in Calcite Twins Poona, India. An impressive specimen when one takes a moment to consider all that is here. The primary crystal is a floater with a minor region of contact on bottom from where it looks to have been attached against some gyrolite or okenite. There is also a chunk missing but the specimen sits on this area so the specimen displays like a floater and is certainly an impressive twin. It measures 6.5 x 6.2 x 4.5 cm and is clear with minor inclusions including well formed balls of gyrolite. Numerous larger gyrolites also appear on the surface of the crystal. Displays great from all sides. Outstanding Indian calcite! 220$
