description:
Colorless very slightly translucent thin lenticular crystals of calcite to 2.5 cm in size aesthetically covering the top and sides of an 8.5 x 5.5 x 3.5 cm matrix. I think this in great condition. Small black spots of either iron oxide or manganese oxide are scattered throughout. Outstanding locality piece for the species that is still quite attractive. Shipping weight: 0.41 pounds.
