Description

Creme-white, sharp rhombohedrons of dolomite perched on a glistening "race" of quartz. The dolomite is typically lustrous and in this case mostly  undamaged. Only in the periphery there is a small imperfection. The crystals are relative large for that locale and additional a little bit isolated and so closed together as usual.
