Calcite w/ Galena (Feist Coll.)

Item Description

A classic specimen of a transparent to translucent straw-yellow grading to near-colorless scalenohedral calcite crystal with sharp, lustrous faces and great form. The crystal is nicely accented with sidecar calcites and there are attached galena fragments hidden on the back. A termination edge is very gently bruised, but is certainly only a modest detraction. Not nearly as common on the market as they once were, and are easily some of the most well known American Calcite specimens extant. Ex George Feist Collection # 3063.
