Item Description

A classic specimen of the fairly well known yet hard to find examples of Calcite pseudomorphing after Glauberite from Camp Verde. This piece shows excellent, remarkably distinct well formed crystals with a soft almost porcelain-esque white exterior. The original habit of the thin Glauberite crystals is completely preserved in white Calcite.
