Description

Great old classic - although the locality produced some quantity decades ago, today this material becomes more and more rare and hard to obtain. The particular specimen shows one exposed twinned crystal in light yellow color. It shows fine clarity, sharp habit and glossy faces. Contrast to matrix is very fine, the assemble is really aesthetic. The calcite is complete all around, no significant damages to report.
