Item Description
A great historic Calcite specimen from this prolific Silver mining district in central Germany. Calcites from St Andreasberg can vary widely in habit, and are high sought after by collectors of European classics. This specimen hosts dozens of sharp, translucent, bi-colored (white and colorless), compressed hexagonal crystals of Calcite. The largest crystal measures 1.1 cm across, and most crystals are in excellent condition. This piece from the Wouter Van Tichelen Collection.
