Aesthetically perched on limestone and a cluster of smaller calcite crystals is a 13 cm-tall, lustrous, translucent calcite which becomes more colorful and more transparent at the termination. The temrination is fat and gemmy and intense! Speaking of the cognac colored termination, it has split into 3 distinct crystal tips for a bit of extra visual interest. The ONLY damage here is hte tip of the tiniest, bottom-most, accessory crystal in the rosette at the base.
