Item Description

A CLASSIC, beautiful, doubly terminated, golden-amber calcite crystal jauntily set on a small cluster of gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine of Tennessee. The form, high luster and translucency make this a textbook Elmwood calcite. Both terminations are extremely gemmy and the multiple terminations on one end are facinating. The super-trivial termination wear on the single termination and the lightly cleaved tip of the large termination on the multiple end are barely noticeable and are certainly not detracting. These only get more desirable with time.
