Description

A quite special floater specimen given by an intricated group of a few flattened calcite crystals. White color and medium lustre, the crystals locally show some growth patterns and are occasionally decorated by a fine dusting of green chlorite. In very good conditions!

Unusual to see, I am told this comes from the N.E.A.T. Gotthard tunnel.
