Calcite (doubly-terminated) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This piece is many years old, and is NOT a contemporary piece. This is a hard to find Calcite specimen for Colorado. The piece features a beautiful, twinned, gemmy, doubly-terminated, sharp, translucent golden scalenohedral Calcite crystal on Calcite crystal matrix. Micro Malachite can be seen associated on the bottom of the piece. For a Colorado specimen, this is a good piece from the Western Slope. I haven't seen many specimens from this mine over the years, and I don't think there will be many of them available in the future. If you're a Colorado collector, or a collector of Calcite in general, this is a good opportunity to add a hard to find piece from this lesser known locality in western Colorado. It's just on the threshold of being too big for a thumbnail, but if you turn it the right way, you should be able to squeeze it into a 1 inch cube.
