This fine specimen features a cluster of pseudhexagonal crystals of Witherite on  sparkling Calcite and mostly indistinct crystallized Fluorite. The Witherite is well developed, sharp edged and partly trasnparent. This is a super piece in splendid condition, especially because the quality and "freshness" of the Witherite is so good.
