Item Description
A hedgehog-like spikey cluster of sharp reddish-colored calcites, complete (nearly) all around. The knob on top is complete 360 degrees, and on the back there is a cast-like attachment where you can see this grew against something rhombohedral. In a hollow underneath, is a bit of pyrite too. Unusual and attractive new material from a new locality, end-2009. NEW FIND!
