Calcite

"The Rudny Star" as I like to call it. Large calcite crystals with a yellowish core growing in all directions with a second generation of paler crystals in the center. At the bottom the sulfide-rich matrix is also visible. This is a great example from the famous Rudny Mine in Kazakhstan. One of my favorite localities.
