Description

Crest of white stepped calcite grown of a small speck of matrix. Crystals are mostly complete, although this is part of a possibly much larger drusy.
A few peripheral contacts, as depicted.

I acquired this specimen back in 2009 and it has never left my collection until now. Pretty significant crystal size for an Erzgebirge calcite.
