ER92AK8: Specimen similar to those reported as a novelty at the 2019 Sainte Marie-aux-Mines show, but displaying distinctive morphology, apparently due to having been found at greater depth than the previous ones. Calcite crystals showing a well defined pseudohexagonal outline are completely covered by a second generation of small scalenohedral crystals, along with both Quartz, in small crystals, as well as fan-like aggregates of Epidote, much more individual and higher quality. We decided to analyze this type of specimen due to its genetic complexity and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. This specimen has been photographed and published as a novelty at the 2019 Munich Show in the magazine "Lapis" number 12/2019, page 30, and in the magazine ‘Mineral Up’ on page 63 of the 2019/02 edition.
