These weren't small specimens and the crystal calcite wasn't a single crystal, but a druze (technical rock term) of sharp spiky crystals. The marcasite is Fe2SO4, i.e. an iron compound, is quite heavy, and larger than a pair of brass knuckles. The malikaria is fist-sized. In other words, if I wanted to damage with any of these, I could.
