Description

From a recent find (November 2024), this is a big specimen of 1.5 Kg and 17 cm of calcite from Lompret. They are flattened rhombohedral crystals that get bigger to the end. It is almost a floater specimen, with a minor cleaved contact to the matrix. The colour is white but about 1 mm under the surfaces they are richly included by microcrystalline sulfides (marcasite and/or pyrite), so the crystals get a nice grey zonation to the edges. Under long UV, they show a pale pink fluorescence. 

Collected by Leon Vandewal inside a cavity filled by clay, this is a quite unusually big sample and in good condition for Lompret.
