Extract

The rare occurrence of the primitive rhombohedron r {100} with little or no modification on crystals of calcite has induced me to bring to the notice of the Society some very fine pale lilac crystals exhibiting this unusual habit.

These specimens were raised a few years ago from the Llandeilo flags strata in the Tankerville lead mine, near Shelve, Shropshire.
