Item Description
The famous Stank Iron Mine was only active from 1871-1901, but still produced some very fine calcites. Glassy, water-clear, modified scalenohedrons, to 3.0 cm, have pretty, classic light hematite tinting and cover the undulating gossan matrix on this rich and excellent old-time specimen. The piece has multiple fine display views. Valued at $500.
