Laterally compressed translucent white Calcite crystal completely covered by a layer of sugary Quartz crystals, with attached double-terminated pink Stilbite crystals to 3.5cm. Unusual specimen that is reminiscent of Steve Smale's specimen known as 'The Cricket Bat' (see page 117 of the Smale Collection book). One tiny Stilbite crystal is incomplete, otherwise undamaged, with the Stilbite only on one side. Only the second one like it I've seen.
