Lavender Optical Calcite from Madagascar

These Lavender Optical Calcite pieces are beautifully clear with the softest hint of lavender-purple. Natural internal veils and fractures catch the light beautifully from different angles.

Optical Calcite is a highly transparent variety of calcite, composed of calcium carbonate and known for its fascinating double-refraction effect, which can make objects viewed through it appear doubled.
