Item Description

A classic specimen of golden scalenohedral Calcite with sharp faces and great form, but the highlight of the piece is the distinct internal phantom that can be seen even without backlighting. Not nearly as common on the market as they once were, and are easily some of the most well known U.S. Calcite specimens extant.
