Description

Excellent and unsual miniature of calcite from the classic ancient locality!The miner took only literaly a couple of pieces out from the cavity during his mining trip,which I picked immediately!The sharp rosettes are totally covered by lotus fruit orange iron oxides!When I got them I thought the cover will be brushed away,but it remained intact after a long ultrasonic bath!I consider this a great perimorph!The aesthetics are great and the crystals glow with some backlighting!I hope more will come in the future but I'm told it's just a small pocket.Visually pristive, with only one small tip missing.
