Calcite
This is a VERY unusual Dalnegorsk calcite, due to the extremely uncommon tabular form of the two main "rabbit-ear" crystals (3 cm). The pocket conditions must have been bizarre, because at the feet of these crystals are several crystals that are almost opposite in form: extremely truncated, fat and stumpy, far wider than tall. There is not a "standard" looking crystal in the bunch. All the crystals in this cluster have pyramidal terminations. The piece looks like you took classic elongated English crystals and glued them onto a cluster from China, for a unique look!
