Item Description
Calcite specimens from this famous Greek island, renowned for quartz prases included with green actinolite, not hedenbergite (Hyrsl and Niedermayr, 2003), are extremely rare. Super sharp calcite rhombs form this striking miniature, which have two overgrowth coatings: first very sparkly hematite; then a starkly contrasting crust of an unknown, snow-white mineral. Extra rare, very unusual and showy! Ex Larry Krause dealer stock.
