Description

Typical example of the famous bohemian diadochites as cauliflower-like aggregate. The nice colour contrast is provided by darker clayey material on the diadochite. Labeled as diadochite by Ward but also could be destinezite. The exact locality is most probably Vysocany (i got another example of visually identical material with label stating destinezite, Vysocany).
