Item Description

Classic, gemmy, golden-amber terminations highlight this showy, large doubly terminated and twinned calcite specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. The striking multiple terminations, side car calcite (one end is cleaved) and attached matrix fragments of creamy barite, purple fluorite and sphalerite are sculptural accents to this showy two-sided piece. The single tip is gently cleaved with slight edge wear, one of the double tips is cleaved, with the other tip having only gently bruising. Classic and showy older calcite from the Consie Prince Collection.
