Description

Absolutely sheer white, mostly double-terminated calcite scalenohedrons from a 2009 find. The Kirn quarry, although located not far from the famous Juchem quarry, very seldom carries interesting material. This however, was a very nice surprise.

Some pyrite on the specimen.

Only minor damage. A real good sample of this find (this was only a small vein with just a couple of specimen).
