Description

Interesting specimen, consisting of whiteish calcite with in part reddish inclusions/phantoms and lustrous pyrite, forming a cast like specimen which seems to be a perimorph of some elongated tabular crystal or crystal aggregate. Came with Terlingua label (as 2 more specimens of the same kind). I have no experience with Terlingua specimens so i have to trust the labels to be correct as ai couldn´t find similar specimens in the web.
