Pink Calcite crystals that show nicely with the green Malachite. This is an old specimen from a locality that produced superb pink Calcites; the new stuff from Morocco just doesn't compare to these. I just love these and pick them up whenever I can find them. There is a cleavage face on the lower left of the lower front crystal group; top, main display crystal is undamaged.
