Item Description
A classic, well-displayed calcite from the famous Thomasville Quarry of Pennsylvania. The striking, translucent and lustrous, golden-amber crystal is doubly terminated and twinned and rests on a matrix of smaller calcites. The crystal faces are very sharp and lightly striated. The distinct interior phantoms really add pazzazz and enhance this piece! Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only very trivial edge bruising. Excellent quality Thomasville material from the George Feist Collection # 1555.
