Description

Outstanding specimen of scalenohedron calcite crystals on a mostly calcite matrix. A ridge of large somewhat eroded crystals runs through the middle of the face. The left side is covered with dark brown calcite and the right side is covered with fleshy colored calcite. The larger crystals have nice red colored terminations. One broken crystal on the right side looks like an old break and doesn't detract much from the aesthetics of the specimen. Great luster on all but the most eroded crystals. Additionally there are a few small and clear fluorite cubes scattered about.
