Specimen similar to those reported as a novelty at the 2019 Sainte Marie-aux-Mines show but exhibiting distinctive characteristics, apparently due to having been found at greater depth than the previous finds. Calcite crystals, one of them clearly dominant and doubly terminated, have a sharp pseudohexagonal contour and are completely covered by a second generation of small scalenohedral crystals, together with Quartz, in small crystals, as well as Epidote, much more individual and of higher quality. We analyzed this type of specimen due to its genetic complexity and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. This sample has been referenced and pictured, as a novelty in Munich 2019, in the magazine ‘Mineralien Welt’ and appears on page 63 of number 1/2020
