Description

Many years ago, I saw the last good Gyöngyösoroszi Calcite, and this is the first good one I see since years. Countless, sharp scalenodrons of Calcite covered with a sparkly second generation. This is a super aesthetic and almost pristine specimen from this classic Hungarian location. Some decades ago, this stuff was definitely not rare, but it is exceeding hard to see nowadays on mineral shows
