This is easily the largest example I have seen of these famous botryoidal Italian calcites. The yellow hemispheres contrast well against the chocolate-brown basalt matrix. Please note this price includes expensive shipping costs, the specimen alone weighs over 7kg! I haven't really seen anything comparable in terms of size, either on or off the market.ID: 563
