Highly aesthetic and unusual group of sharp scalenohedral calcite crystals where half of each crystal is green and the other half translucent to transparent. No color mixing - there is no gradient here as you commonly see them and so this is a 1 in 10,000 specimen! The boundary is unusually sharp and indicates a total change of environment as the specimen was formed, millions of years ago. The specimen looks like a pulled tooth, some say.
