Item Description

A milky, scalenohedral Calcite crystal is nestled within dark golden metallic Marcasite which has formed "casts" after an unknown mineral. Unfortunately, the specific locality for the piece is not known, and the only identifying label accompanying the piece is from the collection A. Schumacher, which states "England". Minor Galena can be seen on/in the matrix as well. An interesting reference Calcite specimen from England.
