Description

Beautiful combiantion of Calcite, Stilbite, Quartz and Hematite.
One of a kind. It is 1,1 kg and 128 mm long.

The stone was found in Fe-gruva in Malmberget, Gällivare, Norrbotten County, Sweden.

There are crystals on all sides, but mostly calcite in the front, and stilbite and hematite on the backside. Mostly it is damage free, but you will find some broken calcites, especially on the top an bottom of the stone. But all over a very nice specimen.

I am not sure about year, but my father bought this one directly from his mineral-friends in Malmberget, Sweden, probably the late 1990s/early 2000s.
