Description

The minerals of Příbram was a decade or so ago one my  mineralogical "hobby-horses". This is a superfine specimen of so far I can see undamaged, tabular, multifaced calcite, richly and also perfectly perched on a matrix of glistening dolomite. Such pieces were probably discovered in the Anna Mine in Březové Hory, former Birkenberg, a suburb of Příbram. The calcite is highly lustrous as well and nice terminated. More and more hard to get such fine oldtimers nowadays.
