Calcite after Calcite with Pyrite and Quartz (M574)
Outstanding Calcite pseudomorphosis after Calcite. On rhombohedral Calcite crystallized second generation of Calcite. Later the first generation Calcite was dissolved and left a few millimeter crust of the second generation Calcite with the shape left from the dissolved one. In the center you can see some pyrite crystals, a few quartz crystals - covered with calcite - are also present.
