Item Description

A lesser seen association specimen featuring micro bluish colored crystals of Calcite which are associated with somewhat golden colored, translucent Fluorite cubes and pinkish bladed Barite from the Erica Mine (?) according to the label, but I can't find a listing for this locality. It very well could be from Hermine Mine. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#5245). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
