Calcite

Item Description

A cute little thumbnail specimen of Calcite from the famous Millington Quarry in New Jersey. This locality is probably best known for its amazing Pectolite specimens, and although Calcite is fairly common, you don't see a lot of nice thumbnails like this piece. The pseudocubic (rhombohedral) crystal has smooth, lustrous faces with a very pale yellow hue and slight internal gemminess. The Calcite is sharp, well-formed, and alomst damage free. Very nice for the locality, espeically for a Calcite collector or a general carbonate enthusiast.
