A huge, rich, wonderful plate of calcite from Norway, with crystals to 5 cm that have GLASSY faces forming windows into the clear crystal interiors. In some of these crystals are SCALENOHEDRAL PHANTOMS, covered with microcrystals of pyrite, so you can see these golden spikes glittering clearly inside the clear later-generation crystals of a totally different form! This is a large specimen from a classic find, no longer available on the market except as collections recycle. 16.5 x 11 x 5.5 cm
