Description

Really aesthetic specimen of white calcite encrusted aragonite standing up on a larger crystal mass, propped up another unidentifiable calcite encrusted epimorph.

Specimen has been repaired, across the matrix flanking the crystal - usually I break and discard the repair, I can't budge this one!
