Description

What you see here is a rarety: This specimen was discovered in a huge boulder in a gravel pit in Upper Austria. Those boulders are more than 1 m in diameter and extremly hard. This specimen was extracted in hours of work, the matrix is very hard. Due to this hardness the specimen had to be sawed to be extracted. But be sure to get a great rarety in excellent condintion with a very aesthetic group of perfect calcite.
