In person, these compound crystals of calcite are actually a pretty, light golden color, with subtle striations on their faces. The largest measures 6 cm top to bottom. They sit side-by-side on a matrix covered with smaller, lighter-colored calcites. An entirely different form from the familiar "Rudniy calcites" from the nearby Saranovskiy Mine at this locality!
