An extremely aesthetic, large and impressive specimen consisting of a very big, sharp and geometric compound crystal of calcite, perfectly centered on a matrix with accenting needles of quartz. The crystal is in superb condition, with no damage at all; quite remarkable for a specimen this size. Unusual for the locale, too! 12 x 10 x 5.8 cm
