Its calcite, put a small amount of Muratic Acid on it, it should foam and fizz, if so, you can pour it all over it and wash it off with water and it will look like it's been polished, but if you leave it too long it will eat it away, it makes killer spheres.

Very pretty piece. Just be careful if you use the acid. I would hate to see that piece ruined. Fran

Nice! As common as calcite is, it has some really great looking crystals.
