Item Description
Glassy, transparent to translucent, elongated, calcite scalenohedrons form an impressive and aesthetic large specimen from this well-known, abandoned iron mine. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only the most trivial of edge wear. RARE in this large crystal size. Choice material. The accompanying label says Erzgebirge in Saxony, but this piece is from the Harz in Saxony-Anhalt.
