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 hosts a sharp, lustrous, well formed, pale yellow scalenohedra of Calcite with Sphalerite and Quartz. The Calcite is in decent shape, but contacted on one end. A good reference specimen of this well-known material.
