Item Description

An old-time, CABINET, calcite crystal from the famous Joplin Field of the Tri-State District. This large, lustrous, translucent, scalenohedron has rich, golden-amber color. One side is a very well-striated, single crystal, while the other side consists mostly of stepped-growth, calcite crystals. The termination is particularly gemmy and lustrous. The stepped-growth side is very nearly pristine, and the other side has only trivial edgewear. Classic large material from this historic area from the Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
