A cluster of lustrous, translucent, milky, calcite crystals are cemented by a thin veneer of basalt. The crystals, some of which are doubly terminated, reach 6.0 cm across. These ar ecommon enough in principle, but NOT in such elegant and palm-sized specimens of this quality. Exceptional example from this large deposit!
