Description
Very nice cluster of "Amber Calcite" found in 2007.
The group is very well crystallized and are translucent/transparent.
Most of it is amber-colored, but at the point it is slightly olive-green.
These are perhaps the best Calcite crystals ever found in the Dalen-Kjørholt Mines, and there are several other pictures from this epic finding on Mindat.
