Description

An almost 1 Kg excellent specimen of honey coloured calcite crystals, associated by a twin on {02.1}, of lustrous faces. It is complete, without major damages or cleavages, but with some chips. It is a floater piece, because the base was detached off the matrix and recrystallized. Formidable representative specimen from the famous Mount-sur-Marchienne quarry, that was closed in 1993.

Collected before 1980, by Joseph Verbist, (Ex. CEO of the CMB, Compagnie Maritime Belge).
