Description

This is a wonderful group of lustrous dark grey/green calcite crystals with multiple terminations. What initially looks like dark, sulphide inclusions actually appears to be a phantom when it is held up to a strong backlight. There is some minor damage and cleaving to the bottom of the specimen, as seen in the photos,  where it was removed from the matrix, but it sits well for display and is a great location piece.
