Sparkly clusters of fractal calcites, all intergrown with each other to create a 3-dimensional sculpture of crystals, make this a really special example of this beautiful material. It seems to be complete all around! The color is a pure white, and it is just simply pretty, in a way that lets it fit in displayed next to fancier species. From a special pocket in early summer 2020, and donated on behalf of the museum by collector Daniel Peters. Complete all around.
