Calcite

Item Description

Elmwood is one of the great classic US localities, and has produced what are arguably the finest Calcite specimens in the world from the standpoint of size, quality, color, gemminess and overall form. This amazing zinc-producing region (despite several efforts to reopen it) is not operational at the moment and may never again produce these amazing Calcite specimens. This piece is a sharp, lustrous, well formed, golden yellow scalenohedron of Calcite. The crystal is in good shape, but cleaved on the bottom where it detached from the matrix.
