Well formed hexagonal Calcite crystals which are a pale yellow/tan color. The longest is 4 cm long and double terminated. There are innumberable smaller hexagona crystals covering the matrix. Some so small they need to be observed with magnification. Since the Calcite has good luster, the smaller crystals look like a druze. At on end of the matrix, there is a mass of botryoidal Marcasite with scattered casts of more now absent Calcite crystals. On the bottom, there are also a few, very small Dolomite crystals. The specimen is in good condition with the exception of a bruise on one edge of the termination of the largest crystal.
