Scalenohedral crystals of what were once calcite measuring to 2.5 cm in length coming off a crystallized quartz matrix. These calcite crystals are replaced by crystalline dolomite, and then in turn coated with pink kutnohorite. The identification has been confirmed, a copy of the analysis will come with the specimen. In good condition, just slight damage present. All of the prominent crystals are perfect..
