Description

Intriguing specimen consisting of three columnar aggregates of creamy nailhead calcite crystals, creating a quasi-triangular shaped miniature.
The core of the specimen is a deeper orange than the rest of the crystals. Locally, calcite crystals have some very lustrous crystal faces.

I have purchased this specimen at a Greek mineral show in 2001, where it was offered as a fresh find, and I have treasured it in my collection ever since.
