Description

Museum-sized and excellent calcite specimen. Pink pokerchip calcite crystals have grown in parallel to each other, “climbing up” towards the tip of the underlying beige-yellowish scalenohedral calcite! From my personal collection of Chinese minerals, this is a serious calcite from China.
