description:
Beautiful large cabinet example for this famous locality with glassy mostly gemmy colorless crystals of calcite to 2.0 cm in size on a matrix covered by amber colored glassy gemmy fluorite crystals. Minimal chipping is present to the calcite, this shown up close in the video. Overall I think quite nice and very pretty.
