Spherical cluster of Calcite crystals that have replaced Gaylussite crystals. Well crystallized all around. Old material from the Chuck Trantham collection, ex. Judy & Chris Cook. The decades old label shows a locality of Kardakan, Kirgizia, USSR. MINDAT does not show Gaylussite from that locality, and the correct locality was likely unknown at the time.
