Description

A stunning specimen in every way. Several perfectly defined, elongated and six-sided crystals of Calcite on matrix. They are highly lustrous, sharp edged and so far I can see, pristine. They are perched on crystallized Quartz. I have seen many Calcite specimens from El Hammam through the years, but seldom such a fine and aesthetic specimen from this locale. Much better in person.
