The fan-like crystals in this unique calcite specimen have clustered together to create a beautiful, hydrangea-like form with an incredible, waxy luster. But a crucial difference is real hydrangeas don't come in such a spectacular red-orange color! The white base that slowly saturates into full vibrancy at the top gives this piece a particularly elegant aesthetic.
