This oldtime calcite is a very unusual piece for the locality, with spiky, slightly hematite-tinted crystals in tight clusters. There is some peripheral damage but the overall impact is really impressive, and the tips of the big sprays are intact. From the collection of Ernest Chapman, (1894-1947), a prominent Southern California collector.
