Comment: This specimen consists of four interconnected opaque quartz xls that have been partially coated by mini scalenohedral off white calcite xls. Most of the calcite occurs as single "dog tooth" xls, but there are also a number of bundles resembling wheat sheaf's; one resembling a bow tie! These bundles are a conglomeration of individual xls. This is a unique, hard to find specimen from a noted collector. No noticeable damage. This specimen comes with Mike's original collection card. Enjoy!

Minerals: Calcite (CaCO₃) Chlorite Pyrite (FeS₂) Quartz (SiO₂)
