Fine, highly aesthetic specimen composed of glassy, transparent Calcite rhombs included by Malachite. The crystals are sharp, lustrous, and cover both sides of the specimen (a floater). The Calcite are water-clear making this a really bright and sparkly specimen. Areas of Duftite are also present, mostly on the backside. Ex. Carl Acosta, Tizziano Bonisoli  collections.
