Description

Here is an unusual old timer from Seriphos. Calcites from Seriphos are not very well-known among collectors, however they are some of the most impressive Greek calcites I have seen. This is a good example with thick and quite large scalenohedrons, coated with quartz that gives a sugary luster on the faces. One of the smaller crystals has a ding at the tip, otherwise the piece is in excellent condition.
