The main event here is a big sophisticated Calcite crystal that sits in a beautiful bed of purple Amethyst. This Calcite is a large showy single crystal measuring 19 x 6 x 5 cm in size!  There are stunning orange triangles inside the main Calcite crystal. I believe that they are Hematite included, Calcite crystal phantoms.There are two generations of Calcite that make up this super fine crystal. It is covered in a Quartz druze that sparkles amazingly. This Quartz druze starts out with a very fine crystal size at the terminated ends of the main crystal and as it gets closer to the orange diamond inclusions the crystals become much larger in size. The main body of the crystal glows a deep orange under long wave & short wave uv light with a pink color under mid wave uv light.The overlying Calcite crystals have more of an Ivory color and there is no Quartz druze on these areas. The overlying crystal has a long wave uv fluorescence that is a white to light blue color. This entire Calcite crystal has super fine terminations and all of the edges are sharp and perfect. I wish I could show about 50 pictures, there is so much to see here! I took pictures with different lighting and different backgrounds to show that this Calcite changes subtly with different lighting and backgrounds. You may notice white dots on the Amethyst crystals. They are small round spheres of what looks like micro Quartz crystals. Some of them are completely below the surface of the Amethyst and others are protruding from the Amethyst, they are beautiful sparkly orbs.  This specimen is super fine and has been hidden away in a private collection since the 2016 Denver show where it was acquired.
