This is a strange, sculptural specimen that is a floater, consisting of calcite crystals that are heavily included by sand (and are perhaps more sand than calcite, in any case). On one side, which I find more interesting, the aspect presented are "balls" at the base of the dogtooth calcite crystals, all joined together. The other side shows typical calcite scalenohedra, or "dogtooth" crystals, also sand-included This is a floater, complete-all-around. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
