Calcite (rare locale - fluorescent) Tom Wolfe Coll.

Item Description

Mineral specimens of any species are RARE from this obscure Ziller Valley locale. The sharply terminated, translucent, tapered, hexagonal crystal is strikingly accented with clusters of smaller stair-stepped crystals on three sides and nifty preferential iron oxide coatings! This fascinating and rare, 360-degree calcite is pristine. Rich modest orange-red fluorescence. Probably older material, but no proof and possibly unique. A super rare calcite from the Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection and purchased at Tucson in 1976 from Ron Bentley.
