Description

A white lustrous helictite of calcite..... A bugger to measure, a beauty to behold. Like a pair on entangled serpents with no sense of direction.

The helictite is fascinating but a second generation of calcite crystals has stacked themselves up the sides in two or three places to make the picture even more surreal.
