Description

This is a fine specimen of transparent grayish blades of Calcite with one major crystal set atop of the specimen. The Calcite is well developed, sharp edged and almost nicely terminated. There is a distinctive striation along most of the faces. A good and classic Schlema specimen, found in the heydays of this great mine. Abandoned and recultivated. So all good finds are history.
