Item Description
A magnificent, huge 360-degree calcite from this famous Pennsylvania limestone quarry. The striking complex compound translucent crystal with satin lustre faces has rich golden-yellow color, that GLOWS golden-amber, when backlit. The dense stepped-growth on the multitude of faces adds real allure to this most impressive specimen. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with a trivial bit of scuffing. Ex George Feist Collection # 481. RARE in this quality and crystal size with multiple display views. From 1990s to early 2000s finds. An exceptional museum-sized Pennsylvania calcite. 2108 grams or 4.6 pounds mass. Value?? We feel $2000, at minimum is fair.
