Once more on the top! Incredible two generations of swimmer aggregate of two Calcite crystals. The first generation the transversely grown, dark and opaque 12,5 and 8 cm calcite crystals are covered with palygorskite and romanèchite. Large twinned (fish tail) of the first calcite generation are coated on front faces with white palygorskite and romanèchite, the black manganese oxide. The second generation of calcite, with crystals up to 5 cm, forms high lustrous crystals splendor on the back. Huge contrast between snowy white palygorskite and deep black romanèchite with the second generation of colorless partly translucent calcite crystals on the top of the first one create a spectacular and exquisite cabinet specimen.
