Description

Single crystal of honey calcite, complete all around and almost a floater, provided the small piece of sedimentary matrix it was attached to. The crystal is very lustrous, partly transparent on its outer portions, with minimal peripheral bruise.

It is the first time I have come across specimens from this mine. Besides Tri-State District material, USA calcite is usually hard to spot on the European market.

It comes from a Swiss historical stock I have recently acquired, with a pasted code label which refers to the original inventory number. The specimen is over 50 years old.
