Colorless semi lustrous translucent blocky rhombohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 3.0 cm in size across the top of matrix. Small crystals of quartz are present. A second-generation of crystallized calcite is present with preferential coatings along the edges of the larger rhombohedral crystals. There is one cleaved crystal bottom of the specimen as seen in the picture and video, this still quite nice.
