An interesting vintage-1853 piece with several generations of calcite present! One generation of small, discshaped, gemmy calcites has coated a previous generation of extremely elongated "angel-wing" style calcite, making for a fairly dramatic and different specimen from what we normally see from here. I cannot make out the mine name in Andreasberg on the label, but it is indeed from this district.
