Calcite

Recorded under neon light

 

MRB46CD5: Group of lenticular Calcite crystals with very marked trigonal shapes, formed by a very flattened rhombohedron and a fine prism. On matrix, transparent-translucent and with growth striations on the faces, which are very well defined, as well as on the edges, and with an internal phantom formed by another trigonal Calcite crystal, more ocher in color and perfectly visible, resulting in a very peculiar geometry.
