Description

Beautiful drusy of lenticular candid white calcite. Several crystals proudly stand vertically on a thin speck of creamy sedimentary matrix. Moderate lustre and overall good homogenous color for the calcite. These specimens are true classics from the valleys of Parma Province, and good groups such as this one are quite sought after. 
From my personal collection, where it has resided for over 20 years. Very minimal peripheral damage, in my opinion negligible.
