Description

Here I offer a very nice phantom calcite from the still active landelies limestone quarry near charleroi. In the past i have been able to offer finds, including old finds, from the former quarries such as solway and monte-sur-marchienne, but I have never had a cognac brown phantom. The pictures show the quality of this crystal.
