This specimen of unusual, frosted, light green, calcite on petrified wood displays beautifully, as the crystals stand up from the matrix. The largest crystal exceeds 1.5 cm across. The green color is caused by vanadium. These are almost impossible to obtain and this is an old specimen, plus one of the best I have seen of its type. 4.7 x 3.6 x 2.1 cm
