Description
The model used is a 175 mm Calcite from Jalgaon, India.
It is a new specimen in my collection, that I bought in 2021.
It is a fantastic clear Calcite, found in Jalgaon Quarries, Maharashtra, India. It is a big specimen, measuring 128x175x87 mm (1,3 kg).
It reminds a bit like the world-famous calcite from Kazakstan, with its inner clarity and light champagne color.
I am extremely happy to have this in my collection now, and is also pleased that you have the chance to buy the digital art version.
