Description
Very nice "Amber Calcite" found in 2007.
The crystals are elongated, highly lustrous and very well crystallized and are translucent/transparent.
They have a beautiful color, most of it honey-colored, with some olive-green color in the top.
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.
