An OLD-TIME and showy divergent, 3-dimensional spray of lustrous, elongated, mostly colorless calcite crystals with modified, scalenohedral terminations from the famous Stank Mine of England. A few of the tips are lightly tinted by hematite, which adds a nice accent and color. CLASSIC, pristine material from an old Collection, probably circa late 1800s. Light yellow fluorescence.
