To those of you who are serious collectors, this is probably not thought of as an outstanding specimen, but as I'm primarily a mineral collector, I was thrilled to find this piece!  I believe it's a section of Calamites, with what I consider some amazing crystallization of calcite and sphalerite.

Looks amazing to me! I can’t confirm or deny your claim of Calamites, but I thing the specimen looks great!

I'd like to see a distinct node, but I won't go as far as to say it's not Calamites. That is the most crystallization I've ever seen on a MC specimen. Very exciting find.
