Spectacular and colorful piece from the Spanish "Hozarco" mine, where we see an aggregate of very bright and transparent calcite crystals (and some quartz) with greenish tints due to the presence of very beautiful malachite crystallizations, as well as another aggregate of cream-colored crystals of siderite. A very unique piece and a wonderful example of the "hozarco" mine
