Item Description

A striking large, 9.8 x 8.2 x 7.8 cm, calcite crystal is dramatically set on the large mounded limestone matrix covered with an earlier generation of smaller calcite crystals. The doubly terminated, translucent complex rhomb has rich golden-amber color with glassy to lightly frosted etched faces. The crystal is complete all-around and nearly pristine with only a lightly bruised contact on one side, which is certainly only a modest detraction. This outstanding and uncommon large calcite from this famous quarry displays supremely well without aid. Choice older material from the George Feist Collection. Valued at $2000.
