A great small miniature of translucent milky-greyish-white Calcite crystals forming a flattened rhombohedral crystal and a saucer-like crystal, both sat on a bed of black lustrous Sphalerite crystals, from the P?'bram mining district in the Czech Republic. The Sphalerite crystals range between 1 and 4 mm across and viewed close to and in strong light, give flashes of rich claret-red. The Sphalerite coats all but one face of a rib of greenish-grey fine-grained matrix.
