This is a lovely coral-like calcite from Sardinia with a vivid three-dimensional shape and nice sand-color. It is perfectly crystallized all around and is in very best condition! I love this unique natural shape that is highly appealing in person!

Three tourmaline crystals are vertically protruding from a white cluster of cleavelandite. Like the towers of a castle those crystals are rather prominent and contrast well against the white background. The dark crystals have intensive blue zones towards the pyramidal terminations which is uncommon, considering that green is by far the predominent color on comparable specimens. The condition is extremely well all over. There is a small contact on the lower front but apart from that I couldn’t see anything imperfect.
