Description

A very aesthetic specimen of stubby white calcite crystals up to 15mm, scattered with small pyrite crystals.

The colour of the calcite crystals is actually very slightly pink.  This specimen is almost completely damage free, besides some very minor and virtually unnoticeable bruising.  

Ex. Donald Stockton Collection (1929 - 2016), complete with his label and the previous dealer label from 'Australian Gem Co.' with list price of $50, bearing in mind this label is decades old already.
