This group looks like mint green ice cream and the pocket is so nicknamed "Ice Cream Pocket." The calcite clusters are comprised of interlocking rhombs of cuprian rich calcite, in this case perched on a druse of glistening white dolomite or white calcite. The copper content gives it a beautiful pastel green hue. RARE ONE POCKET FIND In THE MID-1980's! Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
