This wonderful tri-state piece, mined in 1993, is interesting on BOTH sides. On one, it consists of pretty, transparent nailhead calcites, with galena and pyrite crystals adding an accent. On the backside are pseudomorphs of pyrite after anhydrite crystals - having completely replaced the anhydrites while retaining their platy form. 10.2 x 5.6 x 4.4 cm
