A classic, old-time (mid to late 1800s, probably) and aesthetic English specimen. A 7.1 cm, lustrous, doubly terminated calcite scalenohedron is attached to a matrix of sparkly, clay-included calcite rhombs. The center of the calcite crystal is clay-included, while the very complexly terminated tips are beautifully gemmy and glassy.
