A loose floater cluster of what is often called poker chip calcite, these lustrous slightly translucent rhombohedral crystals in neat formation. This is crystallized completely all around and there are no points of attachment. In very good condition as well. This is classic material for this Mexican locality likely collected in the 1960s or 1970s.
