Description

A very good size specimen featuring a hedgehog-like druse of very sharp transparent scalenohedral crystals of calcite. Brightness is incredible, and the condition is very good, with just a couple damaged points. Slightly fluorescent in pink colour under UV light, so it probably contains manganese in the composition.

Found in 1995.
