Description

This is an interesting one. Its shape reminds me of the quartz scepters on prase from Seriphos island. However, the bottom is just a greenish, probably amphibolitic matrix with a whitish zone, separating it from a calcite crystal on top! From the alpine type fissures of Chania, those pocket are known for quartz and this looks like a quartz from Seriphos, but it is a bizarre calcite specimen!
