Description

An outstanding piece! Blades of calcite sparked on a scalenohedral crystal of first generation. The crystals are very glossy and sharp terminated. When you look at the main crystal in the bird-view you will see a crazy phantom - it reminds to a German car-brand; I would say the Mercedes under calcites!
