A large plate of gray limestone is encrusted with approximately 25 calcite crystals up to 10 cm across. Most are doubly-terminated and a few are twinned. They are very LUSTROUS and many show great relief from the underlaying rock matrix. The largest crystal has gemmy, cognac colored terminations with one end exhibiting multi-forked tips.
