Calcite with Malachite

Unknown Owner
Scalenohedral golden partly gemmy crystal of calcite set on a crystalline dolomite matrix. Green malachite is present. Very slight cleaving present as seen at the termination. This is on the backside. The crystal shows twinning. Neat for the species and mining district.
