Sceptered Calcite (old classic - excellent)

Item Description

An excellent, classic, old-time, complete-all-around specimen of sceptered calcite from Shullsburg, Wisconsin. The broad, colorless scalenohedron is abundantly overgrown with lustrous rhombohedral calcites to a large 2.5 cm in striking, parallel stair-stepped growth. The scalenohedron is capped by a transparent and lustrous, 4.9 x 3.0 cm, complex rhombohedral calcite crystal, which makes for a spectacular sceptered calcite specimen with a striking phantom. Very nearly pristine. Hard to get in this undamaged quality. Very fine material from this historic locale. Valued at $300. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
