A sulfide matrix is host to elongated scalenohedrons of lustrous, ivory-colored calcite, to 5. 5 cm across, which are surrounded by lustrous and translucent fluorite crystals that exhibit stepped growth. The fluorite crystals are very sharp, reach 2 cm across and have a frosted surface to them. Overall an interesting combination piece. Note that his is from Taxco, not Naica - such fluorites, and combinations, are much more rare here
