This is an old and LARGE calcite specimen from the classic Egremont locality - a "hedgehog"-style cluster of fine scalenohedral crystals. The crystals are gemmier in person, and wonderfully terminated. The radial spray is classic! A recent label that came with this specimen says "rep" on it, so it is presumably repaired somewhere, but we cannot detect where, so it does not detract. Look slike a crack on the back was merely stabilised, to my eye. 10.9 x 9.5 x 5.3cm
