Description

Probably the most unusual specimen I got recently: greenish fluorite and yellow calcite crystal in a calcite geode with tiny pyrite crystals. This geode was obviously a fossil shell. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this was a sea-urchin shell - like the kind you find nowadays at the beach.

This asks for further investigation.
