This is a breathtaking floater calcite specimen from the Sokolovskoe Iron Mine in Kostanay Province, Kazakhstan. Measuring 9 x 7.5 x 7 cm and weighing 383 g, it features a fully crystallized form with no matrix contact, making it a complete and highly aesthetic example.
The crystal displays exceptional transparency and clarity, with soft golden hues that glow beautifully in natural light. The faces are lustrous and sharply defined, with delicate growth patterns that give them a smooth, almost liquid-like appearance. The optical clarity is so strong that internal reflections create a stunning depth effect, giving the piece a jewel-like presence in the hand.
This piece is not only a visual stunner but also a fine example of the remarkable calcites that Kazakhstan is known for. Its size, pristine form, and gemmy character make it a standout for any high-end mineral collection.
