In the mineral world this locality is famous for producing little Calcite specimens with inclusions of ‘Y’ shaped Marcasite. So, of course, we wanted to be able to offer a faceted example, the only one we have encountered actually. Classic light yellow color, beautifully cut and entirely clean other than a field of the classic Marcasite inclsions - a simply fantastic look. A scarce and fun piece.
