A monster calcite specimen out of the noted Miller Collection - a huge cluster of gorgeously sharp rhombs, with a faint pink blush from the manganese content. Pyrites and calcite microcrystals add variety to the surface of the rhombs. As you can see, the crystals flouresce a bright cherry red! The crystals measure to 5 cm in each direction. A major piece from a famous calcite collection!
