Item Description

Gallatin County is well-known for honey-colored and translucent calcites, and also as a tough and remote place to collect. Most pieces are big - the locale usually produces larger calcite crystals of double this size and above. This is a very aesthetic smaller example showing excellent translucency and sharpness of form, nicely accented by the bed of smaller crystals. Complete all-around. The termination is gently cleaved. Ex Miller Calcite Collection # 3126.
