description:
A spectacular large Museum size specimen with amber colored large scalenohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 16.0 cm in size on a matrix of white crystallized barite an black sphalerite. Minimal cleaving is present, however all of the terminations are in good condition and I think the piece overall is in terrific condition considering the overall size and weight.
