Group of Calcite crystals arranged in a radiating fashion, in globular aggregates, with the least developed crystals in the lower part and with a very aerial development in the upper part, with very sharply defined edges, popularly known as "dog tooth" calcite. Soft yellowish tones make the specimen aesthetically pleasing. Coming from a locality where few quality specimens can be seen today, the specimen belonged to Santiago Jiménez who, especially in the 1980s and 90s, assembled an excellent collection with a very good representation of the mineralogy of northern Spain.
