Item Description

A classic pale yellow scalenohedral Calcite crystal group with sharp, lustrous faces and great form. The crystals sis on a matrix of white/grey Dolomite with Pyrite and iridescent Chalcopyrite. The largest crystal measures 6.3 cm long, and all of them are in great shape for the material, with only a slight amount of bruising and/or contacts. Not nearly as common on the market as they once were, and are easily some of the most well known American Calcite specimens extant.
