Another very unique Bor Pit calcite, from recent mining that turned up some really unusual calcite specimens. This is a fine example of what has been called "mushroom" calcite, with two poker-chip style calcites growing on a scalenohedral "base" - one on the termination, one just beneath it. 6.6 x 3.1 x 2.2cm
