The pale, ghost-like form in the center shows where a sharp scalenohedral calcite crystal once stood. Over time, it was overgrown by quartz\/amethyst\/goethite and later dissolved, leaving a hollow cavity that perfectly preserves its shape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector’s Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEpimorphs like this are prized because they capture a vanished crystal in stone.
