Item Description

Calcite crystal specimens of this impressive size and quality are RARE from this well-known Indiana carbonate quarry. The striking, highly lustrous, glassy, transparent to translucent elongated calcites are parallel-growth nailhead spar rhombs. The light iron oxide tint adds character. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The front is pristine and the contacted back has no damage, per se. Exceptional and rare large calcite from the Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection. A MUST for the species or locality collector.
