This unusual form of Calcite ranges in color from a creamy, pale yellow to a deep, golden, honey amber color.  Its coloring is caused by Sulphur inclusions.  It gets its name because of this stone’s many small holes and pits, which are typical of aveolar or “honeycomb” weathering – the breadown of rocks on the surface of the Earth by the action of natural elements such as rainwater, temperature extremes and biological activity.
