Attractive small cab with both large and small Calcite crystals on matrix. The larger Calcites are doubly-terminated, hexagonal barrels up to 2.8 cm, with clear, gemmy cores and sharp, white terminations. These rest on hundreds of smaller, zoned, and equally sharp poker-chip Calcites. All the Calcites are lustrous, and they have a bright orange fluorescence. An aesthetic, quality specimen of unusual habit.
