This beautiful specimen formed when gemmy calcite crystals grew in the natural pocket formed by a buried fossil clamshell. This one is almost completely composed of fine, golden crystals, with just a tiny bit of the shell left. These would be beautiful calcite crystals for any locality, but the fact that they are from Florida, a place not known for fine minerals, makes them extra special. 4.4 x 3.8 x 2.8cm
