Description

Calcite with a pyrite layer from Zobes Germany. The specimen is from an old collection going back to the 1960s.

Unfortunatelly there are some damages/chips on the specimen.

But due to the combination of the bright pyrite layer on peaks of calcite I think it still will find a suitable showcase.

Old label is included.
