A fine, large cabinet plate covered with sharp, lustrous, gemmy, "baby pink," sceptered calcite scalenohedrons. The complex rhombohedral terminations on the scepters are very glassy and the sides have the tiny, stepped-face, parallel-growth calcite rhombs, just like the famous Shullsburg, Wisconsin calcites. The largest calcite on this huge specimen is 6.5 cm. Super orange fluorescence.
