Item Description
Fine example of the golden Calcites from the Missouri-Tennessee region, classics of the mid-1900s American mineral scene and now rare in quality. This large, single crystal, cleaved at the base where the attachment was, is gemmy and well-formed. The crystal grades from clear to a beautiful and classic golden color, and there are numerous fine inclusions that add interest on every level. The termination is complex and attractive, and overall the Calcite has a beautiful, sparkling shimmer to it as the light reflects internally. The glassy luster adds even more to the aesthetics of this fine, old-time material from this historic US area. From the noted historic classics collection of Richard 'Dick' Hauck of New Jersey.
