An oddball, never seen the like. This seems to be a hollow cast of chalcedony after stacked hexagonal calcite plates. Charlie was not sure where it came from, except he bought it in Erongo so presumed it was from nearby. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.This Photo was Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 30th Nov 2007
