Description

Calcite from Seriphos are little known among collectors, mostly because they are not available on the market and impossible to find in the locality nowadays. Here is a good and quite large rhombohedral crystal with little sidecar crystals. The calcite is usually rounded but this is a quite sharp example with good translucency. An unusual, good Greek calcite!
