Description

Seldom chance to get Golden calcite from world famous "Parta 580"-pocket in Malmberget, Sweden. Collected  in 1989 by Peter Lyckberg, and at this time my father purchased some samples that he have kept ever since.

Some of the most beautifully formed calcite crystals occur at the Malmberget mine in Lappland, Sweden. This particular style came only from one pocket, found in 1989. The pocket is called "Parta 580"

This lovely scalenohedron of lustrous and translucent, amber colored calcite is nearly pristine. It is a European classic.

The color of the specimen for sale is honey colored, but slightly lighter than some of the other calcites from this pocket.

There are some cuts to the crystals along the edges of the specimen, but otherwise it is perfect. Please also watch the video (click video tab above). The first part of the video is in normal daylight, while I put on backlight in the last part of the video so you can see its transparancy.

Small specimen, with high quality.
