Description from the seller

For sale is an impressively large and heavy crystal slab weighing 1.66 kg from a private family estate.
Important note: All information about the suspected location (Baia Sprie, Romania) as well as the mineral type is based solely on my own research, as there is no lab report or written documents available.

The close-up shots from above clearly show rhombohedral crystal faces and characteristic cleavage surfaces, which strongly indicate calcite or baryte. The underside also displays a distinctive gray, honeycomb-like matrix structure. Please examine all photos carefully: the photos are part of the description and show the exact structure and condition of the piece.
