This small new find of mounded clusters of green, lustrous and translucent calcite rhombs was a nice surprise from the locality that produces the super babingtonites. The green color is caused by inclusions of copper. This is a very fine, highly representative cabinet specimen from this find. Most unusual by worldwide calcite standards.
