Item Description
A classic and beautiful, butterfly-twinned calcite from this famous, closed gold-silver mine. The transparency, glassiness and fine form make this a very fine example from this locale. I particularly like the different style of the terminations. Essentially pristine, the sharp termination has only the most trivial of bruising. Old-time material, rarely on the market.
