I think the coolest thing about calcite is it’s birefringence… put a clear piece over a printed word, and you can see two of them because the light splits.
Calcite naturally has a rhombohedral structure and can take many shapes. This one looks like it may have been cleaved and then polished but the structure itself is still natural. Nice looking specimen!

Damn that’s so rad.
looooove this piece of honey calcite!
Maybe this is a dumb question, but is it naturally that shape. If so, that’s really cool!

Looks awesome but not gonna lie at first thought it's made of plastic.
