Item Description
The Grays Quarry is limestone producer in far western Illinois (near the Missouri/Iowa border). Specimens are not common from this locality, and this is the first Calcite that I have had to offer from Grays. It features a few soft pink color Calcite scalenohedra measuring up to 1.2 cm. sitting in a geode of colorless, gem Quartz. A great midwest Calcite specimen from this uncommon locality.
