Description

Excellent golden honey brown calcite cluster from the extremely remote and very rarely seen Inuvik Region in Canada.

I've never seen another calcite specimen like this on the market at all to compare this too.  Fluorescent under SW-UV as shown in the last picture.  Minimal damage, some trivial edgewear.

Interesting and unusual specimen from the old collection of Donald Stockton (1929 to 2016) complete with his label as well as the original handwritten label.
