Calcite Included with Boulangerite from Herja Mine, Baia Mare, Maramures Co., Romania

Description

This large and wonderfully suggestive specimen is composed of two connected spheres of intergrown Calcite crystals heavily included by Boulangerite. The Calcite crystals individually reach 1 cm across and have been colored black by the Boulangerite inclusions. The color and shape is remarkably even, all the way around, and the piece is in fact a floater.
