Description

This is a superb cluster of rhombohedral dolomite accompanied by disc-shaped Calcite. The excellent defined Dolomite  is razor sharp and features a pearly luster. So far I can see, this great specimen is pristine all around,- just the bottom has some usual contacts, but this "tower", reminding me to a skyscraper, must somehow grow together with the rock.  A fine piece from the classic Romanian locality.
