Item Description
A gorgeous, 9.2 cm, doubly terminated and twinned calcite crystal is very aesthetically attached upright to matrix on this striking and outstanding large specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. The primary termination is totally gemmy and has classic light golden amber color. The matrix wedge is bladed to massive barite and includes two patches of bitumen hydrocarbons! The 2.5 cm gem calcite is a super accent. This outstanding combination calcite is very nearly pristine, with only infinitesmal termination wear. Superior material from the Larry Krause dealer stock. Valued at $1500-1750.
