description:
Very pretty gem colorless complex crystal of calcite almost 5.0 cm across perched on one edge of this 8.5 x 5.5 x 4.0 cm crystalline calcite and malachite matrix. Very minimal malachite matrix attached to the calcite crystal, overall I think in very good condition. Quite choice for the species at this locality. Previous label from the collection of G.
