The form of this Calcite, as intergrown platy wing-like developments, with a colourless to white, ice-like appearance is remarkable. Appearing to be a 'floater', there are no obvious points from which it attached to a host rock and its edges are in excellent condition for a soft mineral such as Calcite. It comes from the famous historic mining area of Príbram, in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic and was recorded on a previous dealer label (now missing) as dating to pre-1915.
