Calcite Crystal, Optical Calcite (Iceland Spar) Pendant Wire Wrapped 14k/20 Gold Filled

Calcite Crystal Pendant Wire Wrapped in 14k/20 Gold Filled Round Wire

Also called optical calcite or Iceland spar, this inspiring crystal exhibits a mostly clear transparent appearance and near perfect rhombohedral shape with some well- defined external and internal crystal plane surfaces. Some rainbow or iridescent coloration is exhibited from internal crystal planes. As it is clear, it is very versatile and can be worn with any colors of clothing; a near perfect rhombohedral shape and nearly flat surfaces provide appeal to a purist view; the natural crystalline state and shape also find interest in the artist and naturalist realm.
