AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Crystallized calcite stalactitic formation precipitated over a limonitic matrix with chunky waxy crystals set on top of the more microcrystalline body of the specimen. This specimen is coming out of an unnamed mine in the Sierra Minera de La Unión, Cartagena, that collectors have dubbed as "La Cuesta" for the steepness of the incline to get out of it.
