Description

No, for sure, this is not a flourite penetration twin from northern england - this is really calcite from Jalagon. This calcite shows a very uncommon habbit and you need more than just a second look to identify it for what it really is. It is set exposed on very light matrix. The matrix is dull, the calcite is highly lustrous, contrast could not be better.
