A beautiful, truly sculptural specimen with finely filigreed crystals of kutnahorite in curving rows and layers twisting upon each other. Usually this style is labeled simply as kutnohorite, but there is probably some manganoan calcite mixed in as well (it's a series) in the underlying, less crystallized platelike layers upon which the finely filigreed crystals rest. 7.2 x 5.3 x 4.5 cm
