Description

Specimen from the "meggen" mine in which we appreciate a combination of crystals of different minerals, among which an aggregate of 'Nailhead' calcite crystals stands out with a staggered and superimposed formation that create a wonderful figure. Marcasite crystals with a metallic luster and part of the dolomite piece can also be seen. A very beautiful piece.
