Description

I think my absolute favorite calcites are the specimen from Dalen. Just look at this seemingly chaotic growth of second generation crystals on much larger, differently shaped calcites. And all in beautiful honey-color.

This specimen is very nicely structured and has the best luster and transparency you can find.
