A magnificent, finely crystallised Aragonite from Číčov Hill in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. On a mostly hidden matrix of massive, snow-white Aragonite, five intergrown, botryoidal-like domes are formed from radiating sprays of translucent, snowy-white acicular Aragonite crystals. An excellent specimen form Číčov Hill, a locality famous for its fine Aragonite and is now, as with so many localities, a protected site, completely off-limits to collectors.
