Description

This is a fine and very aesthetic combination piece of gray, spheroidal Calcite and sharp, white, lucent to transparent Quartz. The Calcite is well developed, sharp edged and lustrous. The gray colour comes from numerous embedded fibrous Plumosite crystals, easily to recognize at the contact of the Calcite with the matrix. A super specimen, pristine and aesthetics. This is one of the most desirable Calcite styles of the locale, especially in that quality.
