NT14AM1: Druse of complex Calcite crystals that are very rich in faces, clearly dominated by scalenohedron faces and rhombohedron terminations, shinier and 'cleaner' than usual in this type of specimen. The crystals are translucent and brownish gray due to the inclusions of Chalcophanite, which also forms the matrix.
