Item Description

An exceptional old-time bi-colored calcite from the Joplin Field. The glassy, lustrous and translucent prisms are honey-yellow to colorless on this very aesthetic specimen. The striking and beautiful doubly terminated crystal is 7.8 cm. In excellent shape overall. Part of the upper termination on the large crystal is contacted, but there is no damage, per se. The upper left edge of the piece is a cleavage, which has very minimal impact to this high quality old-timer. Valued at $1000-1250. Ex Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection.
