This specimen consists of numerous pale yellow calcite xls that take on a form which I refer to as elongated rhombohedrons, resembling thick knife blades. They are all quite gemmy and display virtually no damage. Their shape is quite unique and much better in person. They rest on a bed of gemmy, water clear quartz xls and matrix. An excellent specimen from a defunct locale.
