Like a flower perched aesthetically on a matrix of drusy, splendent, galena, is a cluster of lustrous and translucent, milky white calcite. The cluster measures 4.5 cm across. The calcite fluoresces a spectacular, bright orange color (due to minor manganese). Neat association specimen with great aesthetics!
