A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME and aesthetic hedgehog cluster of glassy, light pink calcite scalenohedrons from the famous Pallaflat Mine of England. The pleasing pink color is due to hematite tinting within the crystals and is one of the most desirable English calcite varietals. This two-sided beauty is pristine, exceptional in itself. The longest crystal is 4.0 cm. Ex. William Hiss Collection.
