Item Description

A striking, gorgeous, gemmy, large calcite from Elmwood! The massive, compound crystal is doubly terminated and the multiple terminations have excellent golden-amber color and gemminess. Dramatic, indeed. Smaller calcites are attached to this monster. Specimens of this size and quality are becoming notably scarcer today. This is an excellent, large, complete all-around crystal group. The blunt end of the large crystal is cleaved. There are contacts, but most are out of sight on the back. This is a dramatic, large and highly representative example of the famed species and locale and has multiple display possibilities. Ex Consie Prince Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
