Description

Wonderful, giant, snow-white calcite 'rose'. Hundreds of crystal 'leaves' form this beautiful specimen.
The problem is that you can't photograph it decently because of the lack of contrast. Really much better in nature. And only minoir chipping- you won't even notice.
Underside shows the typical paragenesis: sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite.
