Description
Rhombohedral translucent lustrous crystals of calcite measuring to 1.5 cm in size are covering most of this matrix. The crystals exhibit interesting inclusions of what were most likely iron oxide, these preferential within the crystal structure. Minimal micro-chipping present, this still very nice.
