Unusual elongated, conjoined, parallel orientated Calcite crystals from the same deposit as the famous scepter Calcite specimens and bearing the same general coloration. There are actually two generations of growth, with the lighter colored and more clear Calcite having grown around the orange/tan colored Calcite in the interior. In one place, where the color is strongest, the interior Calcite is actually loose and can be moved up and down but is entrapped in the more clear Calcite.

Condition: Good

Flaws: There are numerous internal cleaves which are visible in the photos. There is some minor bruising on some of the edges.
