Specimen similar to those reported as a novelty at the 2019 Sainte Marie-aux-Mines show, but displaying distinctive characteristics, apparently due to having been found at greater depth than the previous ones. Calcite crystals, one of them clearly dominant, show a well defined pseudohexagonal outline and are completely covered by a second generation of small scalenohedral crystals, along with both Quartz, in small crystals, as well as Epidote, much more individual and higher quality. We decided to analyze this type of specimen due to its genetic complexity and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. This sample has been referenced and pictured, as a novelty in Munich 2019, in the magazine ‘Le Règne Minéral‘ number 150, page 45
