Item Description

A good reference specimen from Moscona featuring very sharp, lustrous, almost "Elmwood"-esque, soft golden-silvery colored scalenohedra of Calcite associated with chalky-grey curved rhombs of Dolomite on matrix. The piece is in good shape overall, and the largest Calcite crystal measures 3.5 cm long. A worthwhile and aesthetic association specimen from this well known Fluorite producing district.
