Dolomite is not typically a "collector" quality specimen - it is usually an "accessory" mineral on specimens - but these gemmy ones from Spain are an exception. Here you have an unusually-shaped floater crystal, with clear windows (much more clearly in person) alternating with frosty faces. The interior is water-clear. The rusty-red color is from an inclusion of hematite.
