Sharp, discrete calcite rhombs coated with drusy quartz richly and attractively cover the mounded matrix on this fine and rare specimen from Alpine County, California. The calcite rhombs reach 1.8 cm. Very seldom are any mineral specimens of any species available from Alpine County. Ex. Dennis Mullane Collection and dating from the 1970s or earlier.
