Description

Amazing, start like specimen of scalenhedra of calcite with smithsonite! This is the best piece from this small find with sharp crystals in a spray with smithsonite aggreagates on some of the crystals! The smithsonite is lustrous and forms small bubbles! What is very bizarre about it is that the aggregates are mobile on the crystals. They are stable and stay on the crystals, but they can move! Probably a result of missing calcite layers that got them loose, the effect is great and this is a verya aesthetic piece! Please note that some tips are missing naturally and are not broken post mining!Fantastic piece!
