Sizeable matrix specimen featuring a drusy of mikly datolite, with a single, significant 2.2 cm datolite crystal standing atop of the serpentinite matrix. This is one of the largest datolite crystals I have ever encountered from this classic Italian locality. 

It comes with some peripheral wear, as depicted. Still, remarkable size for the specie and locale. A specimen dated back to the early 90s.
