Item Description
An attractive group of well-formed, gemmy, pale straw color, scalenohedra of Calcite sit atop very dark royal purple Fluorite. This locality is well known for it's Fluorite specimens, but good Calcites are not terribly common to find on the market. This area is completely closed down and will never produce these specimens again. One of the few Hardin County Calcites that I have offered in a while. Classic material.
