Calcite (circa 1900) ex Harvard Coll.

Item Description

A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME calcite specimen from the Harvard and George Elling Collections. This showy piece features a curved vug filled with lustrous, glassy, colorless, dogtooth calcite crystals. The matrix is heavily brecciated and is mainly sphalerite. This excellent piece is from the far less common Somerset, England. Certainly around 100 years old, but no proof, except the old Harvard label.
