Spectacular glassy gem sharp crystals of scalenohedral calcite measuring to 12.5 cm in length, one double terminated and twinned. These are all set up on a crystalline sphalerite matrix. This piece is in super condition. At one time part of the Steve Neely collection, I originally bought this from Steve back in the early 2000's, sold it on, and now have it back.
