Interesting bohemian classic, labeled to be coming from the Svornost mine in Jachymov: a carbonate vein matrix is covered by brownish flat rhombohedrons of siderite which host whiteish scalenohedral calcite crystals. Few cleavages on the calcite, though a nice and representative specimen. 1970s/80s specimen.
