Calcite (Twinned)
A very geometrc specimen with several stout, twinned rhombohedrons of calcite, to 5.7 cm across. They are perched aesthetically, on a small amount of sphalerite. The calcite crystals are lustrous and translucent at the edges with a frosted colorless appearance. In fact the frosting is a later generation of gemmier calcite overgrowth on earlier formed calcite. The calcite glows a bright, vivid orange under a fluorescent light. Superb, and very classic in form for older finds here!
