Item Description

Interesting, rounded, pillow-like, translucent, calcite rhombs with stepped-growth faces are sandwiched on top and between limestone layers on this showy specimen from a working Ireland limestone quarry. This is a typical calcite form for this locale and you seldom see specimens on the market. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
